As long as Pandora's Box comes in the form of a poll and defined carefully within some scope of intelligence, this case it's HN, then I say go ahead and open it; the people of the community are always the ones that make-up whatever it's contents are, which are always interesting nonetheless.

I'm sorry I have to disagree with the fundamental assumption of your argument.

Polls like this one attract new people and change the community.

Any one article will not profoundly change HN, but a steady stream will over time do just that.

And then HN will not be interesting any more.
