He missed a couple of the things that bother me about HN:

* People fishing for upvotes by complaining about how X news site uses Javascript or has a paywall. We get it. I know. I agree. Stop posting it.

* Top comments being tangential responses to the title, not discussions of the linked content. I usually enjoy the tangential responses, but I want to see the more-relevant discussion voted higher. I can only imagine that these posts are being upvoted by people who also didn't read the article.

> On any topic I’m informed about, the vast majority of comments are pretty clearly wrong.

I'd be curious to see some examples, because this isn't really my experience. Once in a while, yes. But not that often and not the vast majority, and it mostly pops up in political-flavored threads. But I should defer to Luu, who is a lot more informed than I am on a lot of topics.
