I get that this comment might have struck a nerve with you, but the site guidelines specifically recommend not asking if the commenter read the article.

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

FWIW I don’t think that the parent comment is wrong, but rather over-generalizing. If you’re close to the project, I’d love to hear a proper rebuttal to what seems to be a common question.

That's fair, I apologize. It struck a nerve because of how blase it was with dismissal, but I too am guilty of that at times, I suppose.

Also, I am not close to the project at all - learned about it here.
