Unsubstantive dismissals make for bad HN comments, so please don't post them. We're hoping for thoughtful discussion here.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12347919 and marked it off-topic.

Would this have happened if I had written yes? (To the question of whether the post is worth reading).

That would still have been unsubstantive, but unsubstantive dismissals are particularly bad.
