Sure, but you'll need to do more than "read several HN articles over the years" (presumably completely unrelated to anti-cheats?) to get even a basic understanding of how anti-cheats work, as he went on to demonstrate.

Yes, that stereotype irritates me because it stigmatizes people asking the obvious questions.
