The comments here are depressing. Why can't you just enjoy it for what it is? No-one believes this is pioneering research so you don't need to analyze it as such.
That's okay. :) I'm learning quite a bit from the comments, and it's always good to know what others think.
Upvoted. I hope you do turn this into a source for solid analysis of this sort.
Best of luck.
I come here to read informed analysis and thoughts. If you prefer misguided positive commentary instead of critical analysis I suggest you don't read HN comments.
