But thank you for uselessly pointing out options. You know, you could have taken a walk, eaten a sandwich, did some random activity, written a comment that's actually useful, or many other things. And yet you chose to write what you did, for some inexplicable reason.


If you had just said "How so?", that would have been civil and possibly you would have learned his criticism. (It also would have followed this site's guidelines for commenting.)

I don't know why you've chosen to be antagonist to both the other commenter and myself. How are you doing in your life? Are you under a lot of stress? Honest question.

Read paper yourself. Google it. Look at the discussion in the previous HN thread, which is referenced in this thread.
