You ask a good question and I'm getting sick of people voting down posts (like yours) they merely don't like than those that are actually wrong. That is not the HN way but it's rapidly becoming so, sadly.
Join me in voting up all people who make sensible posts (even if you disagree with them) and who are being voted down by newbies abusing the points system :)
You make a good point. I was, perhaps wrongly, inferring an implicit attribution to the man who is usually accused of say that. This makes me guilty of misattribution.
