It's so creepy how Zuckerberg and Page, as well as every other CEO's responses are worded exactly the same. The same goes for Apple too. It's entirely not believable that everyone's answers would sound so similar.

#16These comments read just like the ones on the Larry Page thread!
It's almost like someone is telling HN readers what to say...

My thoughts exactly. And not just the content, but the vocabulary and the whole way the language is structured.
