I agree with you, but your use of "begs the question" is wrong, and given that I'm in a pedantic mood (and that this is a mistake I've seen before on HN), I'd like to offer a word on the subject.<p>Begging the question is a logical fallacy in which you essentially assume your conclusion as part of formulating your argument. Instead, you probably mean something more like "Which brings up the question".<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question</a>
