Calm down, you’re attacking some kind of strawman representation of who is on HN. Has it occurred to you that a non-trivial subset of the HN commenters are scientists?
I believe it was a response to the comment, "...the people here know how easily biased and misleading these models are." That looks like a suggestion that HN by-and-large understands how this research is flawed.

Read literally any thread about science here, and it's stuffed full of people who will say "now I'm not a scientist but it's clear they're all doing it wrong". I'm not an idiot and yes, it has occurred to me that there might a some scientists here, but there's a much larger subset of arrogant software engineers who think if anybody would just listen to them all the world's problems would be solved.
This isn't specific to software engineers, at this point it's a running joke where a physicist decides "oh, if only <some other field> knew <some advanced math/physics concept> all of their problems would be solved

This happens on literally any thread regarding computer science or programming in general as well. Perhaps you just don’t notice on topics you don’t care about?
This website isn’t moderated for wrongthink so you need to use your brain to parse what people are saying and contextualize it.
