This seems like a strawman. The OP isn't arguing against outsider/non-expert discussion. He's just satirizing HN's specific tendencies to spin off of a headline/article first glance into a let-me-teach-you-something fan fiction vs fan fiction argument.


That's a tendency for all headlines/articles, not just those on HN


A agree that is what OP is doing. Disagree that we can dismiss all HN comments unless they are experts in said field.


> The OP isn't arguing against outsider/non-expert discussion.

Yeah, he's just strawmanning and shaming a hypothetical group for the applauses of a circlejerk.


Please don't respond to bad comments by making the thread even worse. That's taking this place in exactly the wrong direction.
