I forgot about this comment chain and only came across it later, sorry about that.
Did you read the cited source?
> While they are able to dent and punch holes in the breastplate, neither defeats it in a way that would wound a person wearing it.
This sentence in particular doesn't sound credible at all. In fact it seems impossible for a person wearing a breastplate to not be wounded in some way after their breastplate is punched through with a hole.
Starting a reply with a 'lol' also can only decrease the credibility of the writer, so this doesn't seem like a smart thing to do for someone looking to question another HN user's comments.
