>Cute snake oil, but you might want to peddle it somewhere other than Hacker News. People here place too much importance on facts and knowledge to really go for this stuff.

Actually I think this is exactly the kind of pseudo-scientific nonsense that HN types tend to fall for. I am glad that most of the top comments are people debunking it but I think it's telling that it was upvoted to the front page in the first place.

I don't think it's very telling. I upvoted plenty of stories like this one just because the debunking comments were very interesting, or because I suspected they will be when they start rolling in.
