That's not what the paper said. This is a duplicate of a story posted yesterday, with a link to the actual source:

I flagged this story. About the topic in general, 'dang wrote:

All: This is one of those subjects that is fine for HN if the discussion remains substantive and civil, and otherwise deserves to be flagged. If you comment in this thread, please make sure your comment is substantive and on-topic.

If the original discussion I linked to was substantive and civil, it was barely that. A linkjacked version of the same story seems hopeless.
