Because it is designed to elicit controversy (and views) rather than insight, it is not good material for HN.
We can have a discussion about communication between engineers and others. I'd have a lot to say about that myself. But priming everyone for indignation ("surrounded by idiots") is exactly the wrong way to start it.
Pandering to engineers who think they are "surrounded by idiots" is not seeking to get at the truth. It's an appeal to pre-existing opinion, i.e. prejudice. Worse, it's a sneaky way to promote tribalism while pretending to promote the opposite (tolerance). HN stands for the opposite of all these things.
(Side note: when I say "bury", I'm using a technical term from our code. It means applying a rank penalty, but leaving the item open rather than killing it, so anyone who wants to can continue the discussion.)
