He's provided as much proof as Blizzard.

1. Blizzard has their name / track record to stand behind.

2. derpmeister has a month-old HN account, which is backed up by/linked to nothing else.

3. (for example) If Linus Torvalds had posted what derpmeister had, I would be more inclined to take it at face value.

4. derpmeister's post automatically takes itself into 'troll' territory by starting off with the 'Blizzard apologist' comments. This makes the anecdote seem less believable without anything else to back it up.

Nothing you said negates my comment.

It all suggests derpmeister should be taken as a less reliable source than Blizzard, which does count against your comment.

Sure, it's not a deductive proof that Blizzard is right and derpmeister is wrong, but it would be unreasonable to require such a thing.

Agreed. Probably was a worthless comment.
