Comment by dang

I happen to agree with you and have posted in various HN threads over the years about the research on this, which (for what it's worth) showed that longer functions were less error prone. However, the snarky and nasty way that you made the point makes the comment a bad one for HN, no matter how right you are. Can you please not post that way? We're trying for something quite different here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's even more important to stick to the site guidelines when you're right, because otherwise you discredit the truth and give people a reason to reject it, which harms all of us.
