Maybe you didn't understand because you're focusing on a bit that the original comment didn't emphasise. The complaint is not about six pages of instructions. The complaint is about combining education with manipulation.

Could you explain that comment of yours, please? I don't understand how it's saying what you claim it's saying.

Please stop. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26279550

Can you please stop? I know these tit-for-tat exchanges are hard to pull away from but they're exceptionally tedious, and not what HN is supposed to be for.
