I'm confused. Are you saying that the person you are replying to is only interested in aligning consumer action with consumer beliefs because of a shallow interest? He is explicitly saying he thinks a roughly shallow idea could be taken further...

Or are you saying we should avoid topics that could broadly be considered political? If this is the case I don't understand why you didn't reply to OP instead of this comment (and how that meshes with pg taking a stand on SOPA in general).

Or that you think the suggested application isn't of the caliber that ideas would have been in the old days pg refers to? I have only used hn for a year or so, but have read some of the archives and this doesn't feel correct. It's an interesting idea -- perhaps a browser extension that modifies sites like amazon.com?

Please explain what you meant; I am very curious. Thanks.
