Alright you guys when the conversation goes to "It's absolutely nonsense" followed by "which rock have you been under", you're forfeiting the right to have this argument on Hacker News. Please read the site guidelines until you see that this is exactly what they ask you not to do here, regardless of how wrong the other person is, how right you are, or how right you feel you are.
Maybe you don't owe the person you're arguing with better, but you owe this community much better if you're posting to it. The idea here is to have a place on the internet that doesn't destroy itself with flames and screams... or at least to stave that fate off a while longer. That's getting harder lately, and we need you to help haul in the right direction and not push it off a cliff.
