You share that with no justification. There's no such "reason".

It would be more useful if you explained why the rest of my comment didn't provide a good enough reason (because of your clear dissatisfaction with the first sentence of it), because this is just snark that doesn't further a conversation.
Anyone can quote a subset of a message and drop a remark without substance after all, but I didn't come on HN to read Twitter-quality stuff.
You started it buddy.

You share that with no justification.
It stands to reason that if gravity can make things fall down, it can make things fall up.
It stands to reason that if an earthquake can collapse a building that it can build one.
It stands to reason that if rat poison can kill rats then it can make them stronger.
("reason" left to be worked out by the reader as an exercise)
It stands to reason that if someone makes an argument you can make a strawman against it.
In this thread, a manager is compared to earthquakes, ratpoison and gravity… which has fuck all to do with management.
Come on…just say if you don’t like something, like “I don’t like managers and you can’t change my mind.” Be fucking honest for a minute.
Have some god damn conviction instead of this weaksauce shit. Interpersonal relationships are obviously not subject to the laws of thermodynamics.
