How deep is the brain? The shallow brain hypothesis

I dunno. My comment complained about the parent comment not adding positively to the discussion. And gave at least a bit of support for that complaint.

Would you have preferred I emulate your style, and complain while providing no support for my complaint?

Ok.

Being positive is not a requirement of commenting on HN, but you should comment with something that is substantive, so yes I do think you shouldn't have commented at all. Tone policing is cringe.

Exactly what are you doing here then?

But hey I guess I can do this too. How's this? Using cringe as an adjective is cringe.

I don't like tone-policing in general. But when I opened this post the negative comment we're talking about was the top comment. That's makes me much more sympathetic to someone calling out the cynicism.
