I am starting to see this lazy response pattern on HN. Someone makes a reasonable comment, then a responder pops-up like a whack-a-mole to say little more than: "That's not true." or "That's still bad." ... while offering no evidence to their claim, nor any reasonable alternative. I think that it adds so little to the conversation. And specific to the comment, they even used the Holy Grail of annoying Internet argument tendencies: "actually".


It's not my job on a forum to educate you. It takes two seconds for anyone to do research and evaluate literally any claim, especially now with AI. At this point, unless you live under a rock or never look at any ocean related news, one might have heard that casting massive nets and pulling anything with a pulse out of the sea isn't a great way to fish...
