> This is the "you're holding it wrong"[1] argument

But isn't that what you're doing?

Every single submission on HN has threads where people point out how it's useful to them without giving it access to much/any data. What is the benefit of pointing out what the homepage is saying other than to imply that we are holding it wrong?

And what does it say about you that you're going off based on marketing on a website rather than actual, competent tech users who actually weild the tool?

Until recently Gentoo boasted performance as a reason to use it. Yet as someone who's been in the community for over 20 years, I can assure you the majority of users didn't care about the performance and aren't optimizing their builds for it. Who cares what the site says?
