If they have they should really show it to their journalists.

Right! momentum is the most technically relevant quality of merit. Lets have a wholesome and fulfilling discussion of that aspect in particular. If that fails, lets discuss semicolons, and braces and make this HN story very meaningful and informative. After all that is the kind of discussion I come here for. If an article is crappy lets make the discussion around it crappier still. Shudder at the thought that a discussion could be stimulating even if based on an article less than stellar. Low and middle brow, here we come.
Ha! you are fun, searching through my comment history and downvoting old comments still downvotable. Whatever floats your boat.
