"but I think this is an example of a very common problem on HN"

In the true spirit of HN let me 2nd what you are saying and wonder why the parent was so quick to back off what he said.

Although the OP has said he will provide links he also said this:

"I walked into the office on January 9th and suddenly had access to some of the most knowledgeable people on sleep out there."

So who are these people and what makes them so knowledgeable about sleep exactly?

I guess the real question is how do you say this "nicer":

'This post seems like one big, long unsubstantiated bunch of app spam for "zeo"'

maybe:

'I'd like some of the claims here substantiated. On the surface it appears to me that this well written post is simply app spam for "zeo"'
