Yes that was exactly my point :)
But then it wouldn’t have tickled the HN reader quite the same way and wouldn’t have gotten voted to the top.
This doesn’t even need to be a website at all. This is pure slop designed in a pig lab for HN trough.

It does, because it allows for quickly sharing a prepared response instead of saying the same thing over and over. It also works because the kind of person this link gets sent to is already used to trusting random websites over their human interactions.
