People are more likely to have opinions on writing style than imaging chip economics and manufacturing.

By posting on HN to complain about writing style, that comment took the discussion off topic and provided plenty of room for people to bikeshed.

This wasn't about writing style though - it was about making the piece understandable to at least 95% of readers instead of maybe 1%.

  • Those 94% are never going to generate revenue for “image-sensors-world”... why waste bandwidth on them?
