> Hey, sorry! I don't want you to feel bad, and I don't think you should.

no worries, but apologies accepted, and sorry that i make you read my non-capitalized comments :)

> The problem I have with this piece is that it's clearly meant to be an intellectual or academic-adjacent piece

that's a good point i hadn't considered. i am of course for correct capitalization and grammar in "serious" documents etc., HN for me is more like a blog. but HN links to third-party, "serious" sites, where such things should matter.

i guess i can't really comprehend why some struggle with reading non-capitalized texts in english, because it doesn't matter to my brain. but valuable to know, that other people prefer it.

> I'm not smart enough to understand it anyway.

+1. at least we can discuss about language, so it's not that we're too dumb in general ;)
