Hey - you both broke the site guidelines quite badly in this thread - can you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and try harder to use HN in the intended spirit?

From my perspective, this looks like an unfortunate misunderstanding - you both have good things to say, and somehow got caught in a snag. This is all too easy to do on the internet.

The cure is to be 10x more generous in your interpretation of the other person. People come from very different backgrounds and are therefore working with very different mental models, concepts, data, and so on. Differences in perspective too easily turn into judgments and even condemnations of the other person and that's what we're trying to avoid here, so we can keep having curious conversation with each other.
