alt Hacker News> Saying there are bad comments in this thread and also that there is good literature out there without providing any specifics at all is just noise.
Nah, it's not noise. It's a useful reminder not to take any comments too seriously and that this topic is far outside the average commenter's expertise.

It's definitely noise. Not recognizing it as noise is why phone and email scams work.
I say this as a psychologist who is advising you to ignore all claims to the contrary, because they are misinformed. It is clear from the literature.

Yes, it factually is, because...

...this is factually incorrect, because GP comment is literally not saying that - it's a specific dunk on a specific subset of critical comments with zero useful information about which comments or bad or why they're bad or any evidence to back up the assertion that they're bad or anything else useful.
(GP did go back and respond to some other comments with specific technical criticisms - after they made this initial comment. The initial comment itself is still highly problematic, as are fallacious praise of it, like this one.)
