> Please do some reading on this.

I really wish people wouldn't use this line in HN comments. It shuts down meaningful discussion by implying that someone would see things your way if only they were more well informed. Maybe they have done the reading and don't agree with you.

Even better, which is what prompted my comment: if you're speaking in dissent, asserting there's more to a story, please for the sake of other readers who may so be inclined to learn, do more than drop a one liner as if this concludes all counterpoints of debate.

a reference would be great!
