By the time you are reading statements like this on HN or Reddit or wherever people in whatever industry is being discussed already know that people who don't know how to evaluate the product are looking at that signal thereby making it useless as a signal.

Wow, I think that's the most beautiful photo of a zipper I've ever seen!

It's so beautiful, it makes me think it might be a render - after I learned how many "photos" in IKEA's catalogues are actually just using physically-based rendering extremely well, and not being to tell at all, that thought keeps popping up.

They're also really nice to use!
