Re:What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph

I love the implication that thousands of people, from a broad spectrum, who all had the same negative experiences with what was obviously a serious endemic problem with the site, all just needed to understand the policy better. That was clearly the issue.

If thousands of Americans travelled to a tiny country where cars drive on the left, and all tried to drive on the right as they do at home, would that make the country in the wrong? Would it be a "serious endemic problem" with the country?
I see that this has been downvoted, without a response. Given how HN works, I understand that this must have been by a third party. Given the lack of response, I can only infer that this third party either believes:
* that the country would be in the wrong in this circumstance;
* that this is not analogous to the behaviour of those who come to Stack Overflow expecting it to work differently from how it actually works.
But without a response, I'm unable to understand the thought process behind either belief.
