It's the latter bit for me. Ok, so it's a quote from the article. So what? What's interesting about it? What's funny about it? Don't make me guess. Tell my why you thought it was worth your time copy-pasting it into the comment box. Foster some discussion!
It was a no-content throwaway comment in the article too; highlighting it on HN is pointless. I doubt the downvoters would care much whether it was in the article or not.
