HN can be frustrating if you provoke it. The problem isn't so much what you said as how you put it: the combination of dismissive tone and superficial content puts readers here on edge, because too many comments are like that and we all find them annoying. As a result it's easy to have your good intentions misread. If you had explained the thought process behind your comment, I think it would have been received better.
