Seems like you might want to vet your sources, this is a highly, highly polemic group: you can especially tell because moderately polemic groups will at least try to obfuscate their bias.
I'm applying a heuristic.
Because it's not worth debating to us and the vast majority of us aren't policymakers when it comes to matter of global-economics.
...I suspect the link was to posted here to HN on the off-chance a CTO or tech-savvy CEO of an influential SV company sees it and decides to bring it up at Davos this week - just like how other NGOs take-out ads in The Economist around this time of year. So it's pretty flattering to the HN crowd to imagine that we all virtually rub-shoulders with the world's elite.
What? This argument is certifiably nuts! The biggest players can launder their size into the appearance of impartial organic consensus, yes, but observing this in action isn't a reason to trust them!
Besides, your heuristic sucks. Just because it formally sucks due to being an ad-hom doesn't mean it can't informally suck on other dimensions, like mindless deference to authority. Logic has nothing to say about that, but when considering bias it's something you should probably try harder to keep in mind.
