In fairness I didnt fully read the article, myself. If the quote was buried and GP thought it was a good idea to highlight it then I agree it was a good idea.
Come on, its 20 lines long.
Time and time again I see people arguing on HN as if they haven't read the article. Is it just bad reading comprehension or is it that people read the headline and jump the gun?
Time spent reading the article (attentively, or at all) detracts from potential arguing time.
