I'm very glad most of the HN content does indeed satisfy more narrow criteria than "it could be interesting to someone".

> "it could be interesting to someone".

Nobody is saying that. HN content typically caters to a prticular kind of geeky intellectual curiosity - that I think often has broader interests than you're giving it credit for.

As someone else pointed out this post would fit nicely into Douglas Hoftadter's Metamagical Themas - a book with impeccable geek credentials.
