#13"I wrote these words, and you're reading them"... and Google knows you're reading them. I find it a bit ironical that a manifesto for minimalism still carries Google Analytics code to track people.
...and a DIV with a wrapper class. So really not "just" words.
"There's not much code on this page at all, just simple markup for paragraphs, hierarchy, and emphasis."

#15TL;DR
Find a story on Reddit, and usually TL;DR is a first comment. Here, we actually prefer to first read and then comment, or not comment at all.

#16I much prefer those simple pages. Load fast, display fast, no distraction.
A little bit like HN.. except for the load fast part :P

It's true. There's a bit of CSS. There's also a tracking script.
I also needed a web server to host them, an FTP client to transfer them, plus the entire infrastructure of the web to make this work. ;)
So beneath the simplicity of "just words" is some complexity.
But all that stuff is invisible for most people visiting the page. The point is that simple words on a page can be powerful and effective.

#20This is the same reading experience we get in HN.
Just think — we treat text as our user interface!
High quality content + focus on readability = bliss.
