This is pretty good, but to be peak HN the thread needs to have 'showdead' on and include three greyed-out comments: One claiming that the OP is wrong because he is a nefarious Jew, one half-page comment of entirely incomprehensible word salad, and a comment trying to sell boner pills in broken English with a misspelled URL that goes nowhere.

The only thing missing is the actual expert making a clueful statement at the very bottom of the page where nobody reads. Possibly downvoted a couple of times.

Damn, I was afraid this was going to be someone stealing my genius idea. Gladly it was just tangential to that idea.
