Yes, rather than "it doesn't matter", something like "typing in a phrase yourself isn't relevant as this feature is likely disabled for you".

Believe that's why you're being downvoted. The way HN moves comments around also so yours was not right next to the comment you replied to, which didn't help.

Reading my comment again, I do see the problem... On the positive side, it teaches clear, consive writing. Even in quick, short comments. Or thinking, as far as that's concerned. I would have used the same words verbally as well.

Pronouns in particular seem problematic. "It", "they", "he", "her" seem to be on their way out because they are less and less useful at communicating information.
