The point of the article was to focus on the predictability of the HN user base as a whole, not that it would be a plausible outcome.

You obviously misinterpreted the author's intentions and you missed:

* The fact that it wasn't made to make you laugh

* Why do we laugh, what makes things funny?

* What is laughter, really?

(tongue in cheek, of course)

If you want to know more about laughter here is the wikipedia article[1]. Also HowStuffWorks explains how laughter works[2].
