Not every piece of writing is an instruction manual.

On HN it tends to be, though. I think it is kind of implied by "news" which are things one didn't know before reading about them.

Don't watch the "news" on TV then. It's the same stuff your grandparents watched when they were young.

No, but the best are (even/esp fiction).

Retelling a tired, old, heard a million times plot requires superlative writing or at least something knew to be entertaining. (or I guess bad memory on reader's part).
