I really don’t know why I stumbled into the comments section on this particular article, but while I’m here I have to commend you on writing perhaps the most thoughtful and eloquent comment I have ever read on HN.
There are some curious inclusions on that page, but the context link reveals that some highlights really aren't the comment, rather the discussion that it triggered.
A "35 child comments" note or similar alongside the highlighted comments might encourage more browsing.
