You're exactly correct. It was lazy.

This is hacker news and we have something special here. One-liners like that are deserving of your response.

That was the feeling evoked by the comment. I was taking a break from work and didn't spend time explaining.

There are so many reasons I find that comment bothersome. But mostly it's probably my upbringing in the deep south where any intellectual pursuit would put you into the category of "odd nut" whose time spent on a subject was worthy of dismissal because of "common sense" is more important.
