Nope, I downvoted because I don't like it when HN users quote platitudes with no additional context or elaboration to shut down a discussion which is more interesting than the one-line platitude.

It's like quoting Einstein's bit about infinite stupidity, or the Dunning Kruger effect. It's dismissive without being insightful.

I like the platitude but I upvoted you anyway because I agree with you that it shouldn’t be used to curtail discussion.
