Sorry, I didn't directly assume you were a bot, I'm not at this stage of disbelief (yet).
I just wanted to make a small joke response, because obviously you pointed out a real issue with the README that the human who prompted it would have also flagged if they had read it.

There's also a lot of bot spam on HN, so green usernames make people suspicious, but I agree...
