Can you please make your substantive points without swipes? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Your comment would be just fine without that sentence ("I'm sorry but [etc.]")

Can't edit the comment now.

I usually just tell people not to worry about it (the main thing we care about is fixing the problem going forward) but your comment was (otherwise) so good that I took out the guideline breakage ("I'm sorry but that's the dumbest hypothesis I can think of") and canceled the downvotes on your comment.

I hope it's ok with you - I normally wouldn't do that without asking first!

Thanks!
