I thought it was an interesting article. Also, your comment breaks the guidelines:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

It's a good comment because it summarizes the article better than the title does. Every article with a misleading title should have a top comment like that.

Ok, we've replaced the title with a substring of the subtitle that is presumably less misleading.

(in keeping with "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait" - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

Thank you.

Are you claiming that OP, who posted a fantastic summary of the article, is being shallow?

The guidelines are good for people to take into account on an individual basis, but they should not be used to police comments made by others.

I think that’s shallow dismissal as in disagreement without substance, I.e. not adding much to an argument. Not dismissal as in a brief summary so you don’t need to read the rest.

It's dismissive, but I wouldn't call it shallow...
