But did OP effectively "recommend against using" this by that statement "? Yes. Especially given how many people are likely to quickly scan that top comment given the context.

It's not correct, and actually morally wrong, to make blanket recommendations against something based on your own specific set up. Share your experience! Don't discourage others from trying it, or pretend your single source, device specific test now permits you to direct others with recommendations on this thing you didn't build, but have effectively now misrepresented as a "too fancy" "non real world application" toy. How many people is that comment going to lose the creator? How many joy experiences are robbed from those people who get misguided by that comment?

I get your more literal, word parser-y reading, and I can definitely see how a narrow, defly parsed, narrow reading precisely defines just what you think it does. But that doesn't mean that's the only reading, or even the intended one.

I think the people who will bother parsing any such possible nuance while making microsecond decision to either explore further or not bother is low. Congrats on being an exception tho! Or maybe you are just overanalyzing for the purpose of this argument? Hahaha :)

I get you don't see the issue right now, and how it undermines the very best aspects of the project, but i think with a slight shift of perspective, you might! I encourage you to explore a few more Show HN's yourself and empathize with the dynamics, the effects of comments, and even try posting a few and seeing the response you get and how you feel about that. Through long experience you will know the values important here.
