It’s a fair observation.

Their comments are extremely high confidence (failing to recognize that accidents and supply chain attacks do sometimes happen) and because they are new and posting frequently in the same thread, their account shows the signs of a bot/disinfo campaign (which does happen on HN).

It's a completely useless observation. Doesn't add anything productive to the topic.

It's not useless, a new account commenting what amounts to "There's nothing wrong, stop looking", multiple times, is the opposite of assuring.

no one said stop looking; simply that OP was wildly misinformed and he proved nothing of any value
