Irrespective of your view on the Nature article and the current online activity, it is useful to remember that much like Epistemic standards, HN also has standards.

At the bottom of this page you will find a Guidelines page with an "In comments" section:

" Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

You were both not entertaining and added nothing to the discussion.

As much as I agree with you, people are excited for the potential of an extraordinary result, and in my view this article's tone is completely out of place for a publication with the historic weight and impact of Nature.
