Fyi... this blog article also mentions another article, "The Deathbed Fallacy".
HN discussed that a few months ago and the most upvoted commenter happened to have a terminal illness and disagreed with some of it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43944467
He recently passed away a few months ago in August 2025. That's one of the few HN threads I bookmarked because he had a contrarian opinion that I agreed with.
Thanks for the link, that was illuminating, and it confirms feelings I expressed in reply to a sibling comment above. I find bound TFA and "The Deathbed Fallacy" glibly dismissive and ultimately misguided.
