I didn't even downvote and I don't have a bone to pick in this fight.

But the discussion went:

* original poster (HN1) made a general claim

* someone (HN2) answered with a sourced counter-argument for a specific case

* another commenter (HN3) said something like "good on you, but your source doesn't prove much cause it doesn't disprove all the other cases"

Conceptually, for me at least, I'd rank their statements, from good to bad: HN2 > HN1 >>>>> H3.
