Clearly no one is required to do anything. I merely interpreted your repeated replies to me as an attempt to engage in intellectual discussion, and I was attempting to participate. That&#x27;s normally what one does on HN.<p>Perhaps I misinterpreted and you were merely replying in an attempt to raise your status at my expense? If so, my apologies, and I accept your victory. You are a high status, mainstream person with values within the Overton window. I&#x27;m a weird nerd who follows his reasoning to wrongthink. Congrats!
