The fact you don't like his comment doesn't make it "worst kind of comment". Nothing was essentially wrong about what he said. Maybe kinda harsh, I don't know and don't really care: it's plain stupid to favor fanciness of speaking to correctness of facts delivered.

In turn, there were wrong, imprecise and misleading statements in that article, which does make it bad to some degree. It's not the worst of it's kind, but still pretty bad. Actually I would consider it harmful, to write something that is easy to pick up for uneducated people, that gives them impression that they understand it while giving them wrong impression about the subject, that is, being misleading. I'm not sure I could appreciate that even if it was impossible to write easy-to-understand useful quasi-scientific articles/books, but as I've seen them I must conclude it's not impossible, so that makes people writing misleading stuff with attractive headlines even more guilty.

Your comment in it's turn contains nothing, but claiming somebodies comment is "worst" based only on that being not populistic enough. I would say it makes your comment "the worst kind of comment and what is wrong with Hacker News".
