I don't believe that these comments (and if you scroll down there are quite a few nearly identical ones) are intended to do anything more than find an HN-safe way of expressing an ad hom attack with the hope that people won't read it or engage with the comments. I want to find a more charitable interpretation, but it's very difficult.

I kind of get it though, presumably a large number of people here have paychecks that depend on him being wrong, or least the perception that he's wrong for a while.
