No, you're right - I didn't put that well. (I've been posting hastily trying to prevent this thread from devolving into a tedious flamewar and haste is bad for precision!)

On HN we definitely try to go by article quality (past explanations from a slightly different angle: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

I guess what I meant to say was more like: don't judge this article (or any article) by just the headline! and also, if you're pattern-matching this article to garden-variety flamebait, it would be good to know who the author is, because the priors here are totally different than how they appear.
