All these kinds of HN comments share the same flaw, in failing to recognize that the primary obsession of hacker news is in discussing the flaws of things posted on hacker news.

I would argue that thats the benefit.

I want people more knowledgable than me to comment and point out the flaws in products/reports/theories. Thats what I love about HN.

How critical are those flaws? It's up to you. If you take the approach of "there is no right or wrong, only opinions" when you read comments, it's much better off.

I would argue that trying to find flaws is flawed (atleast in this context). Much better to use a neutral approach where you are equally open to strength and flaws.
