HN is a forum and as far as I am aware, anecdata is allowed here. You might disagree with me and my experience and that is fine too but please don't denigrate me.
It is a forum, yes, and anecdotes are fine, as I said I do the same as you wrt local models, but that doesn't mean an irrelevant non sequitur is useful to other readers, and pointing it out is not equivalent to denigration.
