To rephrase:

(1) My post was only to invite people to read the topic !

(2) People are invited to post their own thoughts

(3) I'm happy for people to have their own ideas

(4) There's no debate with me--I take no position here

(5) My only position is--some may find this of interest

(6) A summary: indicative of content, not an evaluation

Everyone has their own style of summary -- mine was merely to eliminate what might be loaded terms ('elite', 'pinko' etc) and focus more on subject-verb elements of the plot. And while there are many non-solvable problems in genral, the class of solvable problems normaly re-quires some form of either pre-conceptualization or accidental empirical discovery. The latter even then becomes the former once it is tested. But again, this is just my own experience.

Perhaps this is a good reason not to annotate HN posts! Something I try to avoid. But every now and then its good to signal some information lest people think a submission is trolling based on the title alone or unfamiliarity.

So it's good other people take interst in the subject.

[ps] I probably shouldn't have posted in direct response to your comment, as it was more a crystalized thought of my own that reading your notes had suggested. It was not posted to be a critique of your comment, although I could see how you might perceive it that way. (It would be unfair at that--as I didn't really respond to you on your terms).
