I have no (easy) way to check that. Two of them got 13 points each, all got at least 4 or 5. Some discussion started, but they didn't get very far.
But that's a specific example from today. Statistically, showing that on a day chosen at random there is at least one example shows that it's very likely to happen most days. Certainly it happens often enough that discussions do get split, and it annoys my sense of rightness, my sense of good design.
As an engineer, it offends my aesthetics.
It significantly hampers my enjoyment of HN, but based on this poll it seems I'm clearly in a small minority. I guess I'll just have to live with it.
