I pointed out the question you asked seemed disingenuous and how it appeared you weren't being intellectually curious (which is the point of HN). If you treat every criticism as a personal attack then you're likely to stagnate in terms of your growth.

Here is the point from the comment you responded to, copy and pasted for your convenience. Please prove to me that spoon feeding you makes a difference:

> You could make an argument that agriculture is different because we need agricultural products to live. But we don't need those specific products to live (alfalfa, almonds, etc), and they could be grown far more efficiently if water were priced by market rates.

Got me there.

Thinking back I believe the logic was that the quote essentially says market will fix the issue, but that explanation is questionable. We know it is questionable precisely because the "fix" for the market not to starve people is more regulation. And the discussion is precisely about regulation of that kind, so the argument is circular.
