I never claimed that. The point is that for most hn readers, these arguments would have been brought up already and therefore as a whole the article as a whole isn't really interesting. It's like being in 2020 reading a "mongodb is bad because it's not ACID compliant" article.
That's actually a worse argument, if I understand it correctly (are you claiming that the article is not interesting for HN readers?? It's frontpage position - currently at #3 - seems to be a pretty convincing counter-argument. The article might not be interesting for you personally, but... that's not very relevant)

Yes? Not every comment has to be pigeon holed into "This article is right" and "This article is wrong".

A long time hn reader such as yourself must know about the phenomena of "upvoted not because of article content, but because of discussion"?
>The article might not be interesting for you personally, but... that's not very relevant)
It's not only that, the article doesn't even bother going into the most basic of rebuttals (as evidenced by the replies here). Overall it's a very shallow article. It might be fine for 2013 but not for 2021.
