It's pretty easy. Doing anything is a skill that you can hone by repeating it. There are lots of people who haven't posted anything and they are inexperienced at posting comments. Once you have posted a few hundred comments you've become comfortable with posting regularly. Then it suddenly becomes obvious that you cannot be super skilled at everything. Maybe you are a frequent HN user but not someone who answers questions on Stackoverflow.
