		<description>&lt;em&gt;Anyway, the Hacker News poster is right, and the blog poster is a bad person for confusing him.&lt;/em&gt;

I think you&#039;ll find the blog poster, ie. me, is discussing a feature of a language created by minds immesurable superior to yours and mine. I&#039;m demonstrating its use, and showing how you can simplify, declutter and better understand your code by using it. I&#039;m also using examples that are substantially simpler, because it&#039;s targetted and the masses. You and the HN commenter you&#039;re defending are focussing on arguably the &lt;strong&gt;least significant&lt;/strong&gt; point that I was making. It&#039;s obvious that the point of the post has sailed way over your head.

Saying ridiculous things like &quot;the blog post is a bad person&quot; makes you look like an idiot. I&#039;d recommend you think before you speak. Your post is misinformed, poorly structured, badly articulated and contains no solid arguments at all. But this doesn&#039;t look like it&#039;s out of the ordinary for you, as the rest of your posts seem to have the same qualities.

&lt;em&gt;This shouldn’t be surprising, because blog posters who put a “Conclusion” section in their posts tend to be bad people.&lt;/em&gt;

I applaud you. You have succeeded in your efforts to come across as an idiot. Especially given that this very blog post contains a conclusion.

As a final point: congratulations on receiving your first ever comment! After two months of writing dribble on the Internet and contributing to the noise rather than the signal, you&#039;ve finally had someone respond.

If you&#039;re hoping for more comments in future, may I suggest you put some thought into writing something original. Attempt to come up with your own material rather than simply take shots at the efforts that others are making. Especially when you&#039;re clearly punching above your weight.</description>
