You're willing to make provocative claims here in public, but only back them up privately?
Then please don't make provocative claims in public in the first place. It's just trolling then. As the saying goes, put up or shut up.

Who are you? And yes, there is something wrong. You posted simply:
> This is fiction.
This is against HN guidelines:
> Please don't post shallow dismissals... A good critical comment teaches us something.
Your comment is a perfect example of a shallow dismissal that teaches us nothing. dang doesn't need to add any rules -- you on the other hand need to review the guidelines. "Enjoy!" reading them.
I think your reply is more against the rules because You’re starting conflict. What if he really has good info?
