I don't see any sidetrack. That's the same argument, and I can only repeat the same counterargument.

I'm not saying that your argument is wrong—I would have to know the future in order to say that, which I don't. All I can do is give the reasons why the counterargument holds more sway from an HN-admin point of view. (Which, btw, is not some sort of disagreement about the politics of this story or other stories.)

Well then, thanks for explaining why that the hyperbolic example in my first comment was in fact not hyperbolic.
