I would be surprised to discover that a significant number of HNers have not yet read the essay

I don't know... it'd be interesting to know how frequently new users sign up, and what the average "age" of the accounts are, who regularly read/post. Personally, I suspect there are quite a few newer users who might not have read that (or any other given) pg article; but I can't prove it. Heck, I've been around for a while now and I doubt I've read all of pg's articles.




Yup, there's always new people. The "collective knowledge" of the crowd doesn't instantly permeate to new or infrequent visitors.
