> comments (laypeople in general) tend to make very confident and very wrong comments on market structure

Former equity derivatives trader here. The Levine article linked to is one of the denser accessible discussions on the topic I’ve seen. Also, as a current English speaker, the “truth searching” the comment you’re responding to cites refers to the general process of learning, and nothing specific to market structure.

He original poster was using "truth searching" euphemistically. In other words, it was a more polite way of saying that many, or even nearly all, comments on such matters on HN are misguided.

That's the point, just read the Levine article instead of going through half-correct HN comments.

Also, I'm a native english speaker (and lived in 2.5 english speaking countries) and have never heard the phrase truth searching
