Agreed. And HN has something I associate with it specifically: the back-and-forth argument, maintaining consistency in positions and reasoning, looking like two people taking. But, upon inspection, many people are involved. That, I think, is an example of the de-emphasis on identity.

This is indeed a very common thing I notice on HN. And yet, also quite weird when you think about it.

Thanks for verbalizing it. I didn't notice how remarkable this was before you said it.
