Dear HN: stop leaving comments like this. It's arguing over semantics and makes for boring conversation. It also violates HN guidelines for leaving comments:
- Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
- Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
If you disagree with the substance of the article, say you prefer Markdown to rST, then address that. Explain why despite the author's preference for rST, you prefer MD. It's silly to argue over this single sentence about exactly what Markdown is or isn't.
