Sorry to disappoint, but no LLMs were used (or harmed?) in the making of my comment above.
I had some thoughts about the authors proposal, and looking back on it I found myself in "peer review" mode. In my field and current line of work, one typically does a "deep summarization" of a text or proposal to indicate that you have read it and aren't just, for example, responding to the headline. If it reads as dry, well, that's part of the training one receives in grad school.
If you want to compare, I loaded the blog post in to Chat-GPT4o and asked it to summarize the contents as well as make "an insightful hacker news comment."

> Summary: Terra Vance's article identifies two communication styles within the neurodivergent community: Concluders, who aim to make a point, and Weavers, who build interconnected conversational tapestries without a fixed endpoint. This distinction can cause misunderstandings and conflicts but recognizing and accommodating these differences can enhance mutual understanding and relationships.
> Insightful Analysis: This distinction between Concluders and Weavers is a fascinating lens through which to view communication breakdowns, especially within neurodivergent communities. It underscores the importance of neurodiversity and the need for broader societal understanding and accommodation of different communication styles. This could have profound implications not just for personal relationships but also in professional settings, where miscommunications can lead to significant consequences. Moreover, it challenges the conventional view of communication effectiveness, suggesting that what is often seen as a lack of social skills may simply be a different, equally valid way of interacting. This perspective could foster more inclusive environments and help reduce the stigma faced by neurodivergent individuals.
