Frankly, judging HN accounts based on total karma, and not based on comment/submission history, real world credibility, etc…, is bizarre. (I’ve never encountered before someone who genuinely believe this)
But I digress, Did you read my comments to the end? If so, and you still decline to check, then here’s the gist:
The ‘knowledgeable’ comments are likely confabulated by someone who has never even picked up a bonafide economic statistic publication in the original Vietnamese, or made even a single inquiry to an actual decision making entity in Hanoi. Maybe they are half true, being generous.
If pointing this out counts as ‘hostile’, then I don’t care enough to address this claim, but I’m glad to be doing a public service for those who would have been misled.
The app I use to read HN doesn't even display up votes or karma and I can't see my past comments - I only just realized this was a thing and I've never got around actually looking at it.
If I don't have negative karma I'd be surprised and this is obviously not my real name, it's not a throw away but it might as well be.
If I say 1 + 1 is 2 tho it's still 2 tho. Truth can come from any mouthpiece, even Trump can ramble his way into a true statement occasionally, and even in that example, said truth cannot be refuted simply bc he is a liar most of the time.
Haha, I've never ever thought like "oh, thank God that person that disagrees with me has such low credibility that I don't have to defend my ideas" - that's kinda sad actually
