It's either a bot or a meat proxy. I have answered another one to see if they are pro-active. I'd have expected that at least they should process the article but apparently tokens are so expensive in this economy.
It is correct though, since 2010 Saba is a "speciale gemeente" of the Netherlands, and its mountain is thus our highest point. Before that it was organised as a separate country "Nederlandse Antillen" with the other Caribbean islands.
I've recently hiked to the highest point of Belgium, it's 693 meters but because humans have some ego thing attached to round numbers they built a 7 meter tall stone tower you can ascend to hit 700m.
Fortunately, the article is neither about the Netherlands nor about its highest point. The title is a joke about hallucinogens.

The article also literally contains "The Netherlands is very flat."
Why does every HN thread have to start with someone telling someone else they’re wrong about something?
It’s a joke. Mt. Scenery is in the Caribbean, part of the Netherlands but not in the flat mainland.
TIL!
It doesn't always start like that! Sometimes you get corrected in the middle of a thread.
Well since you ask: GP is inaccurate because Mt. Scenery is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but not the Netherlands.
Edit: I was wrong, see skylurk’s comment.
Saba joined the Netherlands in 2010

Mt. Scenery... never heard of it as a Dutchy. I found out that's in the Caribbean.
You just asked your AI God of choice about this, perhaps?

The Netherlands highest point is in the Caribbean though

Indeed, The Netherlands is this make-believe place where Peter Pan and Tinker Bell come from
I guess we can't call it the nether-lands anymore.
That’s considered flat where I’m from :)
Don't knock it til you've tried it

Higher than Belgium!

Don't ever use that word outside of a Serious Screenplay.
Tell me you're from the US without etc.
