I didn't read an argument for causation in the article, did I miss something? The title just states a fact: states with Faster Internet have smarter people. The biggest assumption I saw was that higher ACT scores = smarter. The author even speculated that investment in infrastructure as a value may be causing both.

Maybe the HN crowd has a different view of marketing than I do. Our marketing team relies pretty heavily on getting user feedback. We'll listen to individual calls to make sure the site answers questions potential customers have. We'll run surveys and over the shoulder tests to understand intent, concerns, and confusion.

My background is in marketing, and I'm confused by this parody of a marketer who doesn't know how to gather and apply user feedback to the product and site.

I might mention that I couldn't think of a good way to re-word the "we," but I don't mean to imply that I have any relationship with this company. (I don't)
