Not super constructive either, the beauty of having things like HN is to be able to discuss ideas, rather than just point to them as wrong.

At least a couple of counterpoints on why this would be a bad idea and offer a better approach.

There are way more terrible ideas than good ones, and that means treating all of them equally is a one-way road to HN losing the one thing it has going: new ideas.

Feedback like root comment is important to keep pushing ideas forward, instead of a loop.

What feedback? All I see is someone smelling their own farts.

I would honestly love to educate people here. But when the rabble come together to downvote you and dismiss what you're saying, the general perception from any reader is going to be that I'm wrong because so many people are disagreeing with me. Despite the fact that I'm literally an expert and they're not. So it's useless. (And just hurts my soul.)
