Your original response of "it has few citations so it's unremarkable" was also an NPC response, which I wouldn't have commented on except that you're calling other people's responses NPC responses.

I'm befuddled. it's right there at the root of this string of comments: my original response was "it's unremarkable because it's niche in a niche area". it's only when someone asked why, i responded with citations and etc. so my original comment was not NPC according to your assessment, and it's only in response to someone reasserting that i had to cite something.
The false decorum/hypocrisy is palpable: I don't see how a dismissive/flippant link to a generic stack exchange post is any better in terms "quality response".
You can't escalate to edgelordery just because you read something as dismissive, at least not on HN. Or in npc-jargon terms, Snowflake Edgelord is not a valid alignment/class combo.
