Six year olds are literally mentioned only in the title of the article.

I haven't been on HN for a long time (maybe a year counting my pre-account lurking stage) but I've noticed that quite a lot of comments here seem to just be knee-jerk reactions to what the submissions' title is.

Not saying that's a bad thing in its entirety (the titles here are usually great and can easily spark discussion on their own) but just something I hope I'm not alone in having noticed.

Hey, I read the doccloud PDF in the article, but I wasn’t going to pass on a good Big Lebowski reference opportunity.

I do think I see more people appearing to make substantial comments that are based on misunderstandings from the title alone, and that’s more worrisome to me.

Oops, the reference flew right above my head, nothing personal lol.

Exactly.

It's a reference to a line from The Big Lebowski.

"Facebook was considering new products targeted at children as young as six years old, according to a new document handed over to Congress by whistleblower Frances Haugen."
