I didn't comment on whether you've read the article. There's a strong expectation a toplevel comment in a Show HN thread is concretely about the thing being showhn. That's not some complicated thing that requires the subtle parsing of multiple rules.

Yes, and you quoted yourself that just because it’s a “ShowHN” doesn’t mean that it has to be praised effusively and get a attaboy.

My negativity wasn’t “gratuitous”. His tool was meant to predict stock price. Every reputable article shows that kind of analysis is foolhardy- or as the WSJ put it - about as good as blind monkeys

I think the key thing is that it was a straightforwardly poor Show HN comment. What Specific Word of The Guidelines It Hath Not Transgressed Against as well as Who Is The Real Guidelines Sinner are both not particularly important.
