Having an editor isn't wrong, but it's an luxury for something as small as a Hacker News comment or an email. Paul having an editor isn't a luxury. His essays are edited because it's important for his business. He can easily justify a paying someone. More to the point, we're contrasting Paul's essays to people who don't have the luxury. Paul's essays could be seen as less genuine, even if they seem wiser. |

First he is not paying someone to edit these (any person I've seen appears to be unpaid and affiliated with HN in some way). Second he's not (as far as I can tell) angling these posts for business purposes (for example if the head of some corporation were doing that that would make sense).
