This thread has been hit by the contrarian dynamic: an initial wave of comments making objections, followed by a wave of objections to the objections, which the community upvotes to the top of the thread.

Pointing this out is off topic, but I'd like the community to get aware that this is what typically happens. Otherwise it feels bad to read the comments, and the mind starts to overgeneralize about it, e.g. "I can't believe that HN thinks X." HN doesn't "think" X; it is just the universal tendency to make objections and it's the same in both cases.

One could even call it the contrarian dialectic, but I suppose that's pretentious.
