I didn't intend to be controversial when I posted my comment. To not risk inflaming matters further I'll refrain from commenting on your points.

(I cannot recall having so many down-votes in such quick succession on HN previously. Although unintended, I've clearly struck a nerve or two.)

Agreed. While you were downvoted, the quality of replies (not mine) is exceptional and clearly generated a lot discussion. I'd call that a win for HN even though your post currently has negative votes.

I hesitated before publishing my reply as it isn't my normal sort of HN post. I guess this just touched a nerve personally.

You asked essential questions and triggered a helpful discussion. Think of breaking eggs to make an omelet situation.

Your downvotes show you irritated the right people. :-)

+1 from me.
