It's the kind of unhelpful, overly simplified dismissal that HN is known for.

You should recognize that your opinions about how people should use your favorite programming language are not "more or less objectively true".

Context: the post I'm replying to used to end with a complaint that people would downvote something that's "more or less objectively true", and a request that people should explain why. I can't downvote, but I can explain.

The fact that people should use good coding style is "more or less objectively true". I'm surprised that is the part you take issue with.

How is this dismissal overly simplified? What have I failed to take into account?
