Minor detail, but the title of that reddit post instantly turned me off. It's indicates the author is clearly willing to state opinions as fact, and even though they walk it back in their TL;DR, it reeks of the same type of manipulation that conspiracists thrive on.

I can't dig up the thread, but the author kept pasting his reddit thread in the comments of another HN story a few weeks back.

He does come off as very arrogant, a lot of his replies were like "yeah but we'd know".
