I think it’s a pithy counter to the point you were trying to make.

Sure. It also sounds like you liked the pithy answer opportunity more than you than you care about the substance of what I was saying. Which is a shame, the dialogue on Hacker News is generally better than that.

  • No, I believe the pithy answer also conveys a sufficient rebuttal to the "substance" of what you were saying. Or to put it more explicitly: the scenario you lay out is rare enough to be of no consequence compared to the much more frequent instances of unremarkable legacies getting a massive handicap.
