Sorry to be a pedant, but I think you mean "disassemble" - I always get the two mixed up too.

Currently your comment, which adds nothing to the discussion except a simple spelling correction, has more upvotes than the parent. Sign of the times for HN?

Not to say spelling corrections are never useful, I think they often are, but I don't understand the mindset that upvotes them over comments that actually participate in the discussion.

I learned a new word today: dissemble. I come to HN to learn; therefore, it got my upvote.

Yeah, I'm quite surprised by that. I just thought I would mention it in passing.
