So by ‘debunked’ you mean to say that your impression was wrong and you’ve learned the correct information that most others already knew?

Could you please stop creating accounts like this? We ban accounts that do that. It's in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

For HN to be a community, users need some identity for other users to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

You needn't use your real name, of course.
