Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.
If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
Here's my attempt at a substantive and low flame bait comment on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38680523
I'd be interested in whether this meets the bar but once again you've got 5 million other users to see to so if you don't have the time you don't have the time.
"Just asking questions" isn't a low-flamebait strategy for that material. Worse, your account is giving the impression of mostly being interested in promoting it, and that's not an ok use of HN, so please stop.

For calibration purposes so i can get a better feel for the threshhold for "substantial", could you tell me whether the unsubstantive proportion is more like 1%, 10%, 50% or 90%?
(I'll understand completely if you don't have the time to reply though)
0% race science apologia is a good metric to aim for in comments.
