Thanks for your counterarguments. I of course admit that my assumptions are assumptions and henceforth definitely not airtight. However, I just wanted to say that I would have never actually responded to that question itself with how I commented on HN, just to be safe.

I am biased because I read HN daily and kind of assume everybody does - including the author of the story. Which is silly...

Nevertheless I strongly believe in the presumption of innocence, even outside of court, as a general moral rule we owe to others.

Outrageous might of been a little strong though :)
