Never implied that you are a shill at all. Just that I have noticed a common theme on HackerNews where people tend to comment as if they "know it all" (and maybe you do, how do I know). I just want to make aware that this article writer has earned credibility, and as a layman I am much more willing to put a higher weight on the article than a rando taking it down and calling it garbage based on what doesn't seem to be any special insight into the situation.
