Evidently it does not work for GP. “This is what’s done” is hardly a counterargument to “I think we should change this.” It’s even weaker of a counterargument than “I actually like how it is.”
It wasn't a counterargument. It was merely a statement that one should not underestimate the momentum of an approach that is effective. It works well and is therefore unlikely to change.
Let us hope that through his HN comments ashelmire can fight the tyranny of linkbait titles.
