Right. So the link I've given is to an earlier submission of exactly this article, and the thread there has 52 comments in it. There is some discussion of this article in that thread, but as you say, it's mostly digressions.

I wonder if that's true of many HN threads.

So you're right - there is a discussion, but although it's in reply to this article, it's not of this article.

I'll leave my comment there.
