My apologies, this was not intended to be inflammatory but the quotes out of the article and the comments were raised to point out that these kinds of baseless and biased comments from the author detract from the objective quality of the information previously presented in the article and lower the credibility of the author and even the information that the author presents.

I know. But from an HN point of view, the thing to do is to simply ignore the "baseless and biased" aspect and focus on the "objective quality" aspect instead. That's the way to end up having interesting conversations instead of getting stuck in annoying loops.
