This counts as a "shallow dismissal" and is just what we're trying to avoid on HN. It started a flamewar, and we need all commenters to take more care to avoid that. Please take care to observe the guidelines, especially these ones:

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
