For those responding to the title or first half of the article, you are missing the point!

I’ve found that discussions are most insightful when all participants have “done their homework” so to speak. So while it’s amusing that half of the folks didn’t read the relatively short post that was linked here plus the twist at the end, it’s a sad state of affairs when many (most?) online discussions have devolved to this.
A forum could instead queue up comments and only display them after a half hour has passed. People who come to the article later will still be at a disadvantage but at least this would be something. On the other hand, you'd probably get a lot of duplicate remarks... which would be less than interesting.
Or - maybe the commentators are bots too. It's now impossible to tell.
