2014 Gates Annual Letter: Myths that block progress for the poor

This person is trolling by getting people to argue with a position that he or she doesn't even put forth. Don't fall for it -- ignore people who say things and refuse to back them up.

I think it's more likely the person is being honest. I think the positive move would be to encourage him/her to express their rational and provide an example of how HN accepts different conclusions provided there is a logical process in creating those conclusions.

What you are doing is providing example to buttress op's point as being correct. Best to leave that attitude on reddit.

You disagree with my interpretation of this thread, fine. You might be right, great! The "best leave that attitude on reddit" comment is childish and does more to lower the quality of the conversation than my call to ignore unexplained (not even irrational) points. Grow up.

I think your overall style is rather needlessly confrontational. First with OP, and now with me.
