Oh, please, this is not a math inequality where we compare with numbers. It is plain to any English speaker that what was written in the article and how you represented it differ significantly in the confidence that they communicate. As such, your continued insistence that there is no major difference between the two comes off as extremely poor faith.

You might be missing that many people here might not be native English speakers. As such, being crystal clear on what the author believes might be beneficial. Just putting "hey I might be wrong" in the end of an article is just word-padding and since I assumed the author doesn't do that, I entertain the possibility they mentioned seriously.

...Bad faith? Most of HN has bad faith when it comes to Telegram. This place devolves to Reddit / 9GAG levels of childishness when Telegram is mentioned.

I think that's quite fascinating and it's a strange outlier. Yes -- strange, as in "not justified". They did nothing more wrong than a ton of other, much more widely used software, yet any mention of Telegram on HN brings about a big bandwagon of haters. Why do you think that is?
