Maybe not everything is written with a target audience of Dalewyn? Maybe not everyone reading this article would know what a “packet” is?

HN’s tendency to conclude “this article is not a technical manual-style dispassionate recounting of the issue with a target audience of Me, therefore it is bad” is the one thing I truly dislike about this place.

Two things:

1. This is Hacker News, not Facebook.

2. It's possible to answer the question within the first or second paragraph before going on a rant about the surrounding context, regardless the intended audience. Putting forth the entire context first and drowning the reason for going on that rant over halfway down the article is plainly bad writing.

So maybe it shouldn't have been submitted to HN because "Hackers" aren't the intended audience. In which case, downvote and move on with your day.
