I found their aside relevant to my interests as a fellow HN reader. The guidelines also advise against fulminating; you made your point, and I think it’s fair that theirs also stands.

Their aside is also false though. Look at my comment below the OP.

That's fine, I'm just always going to respond to something on HN worded as "where is the [HN] rule that". :)

    I am happy that you are concerned with the guidelines, and I don’t want to protest too much. I appreciate your contributions to HN more than my own most days, and I do hope I don’t rustle your feathers.

    seems to conflict with your concerns about the upthread conversation being derailed to a certain reading:

    > This doesn't have anything to do with the thread, and hashing this out would tilt a story about Kryptos sharply towards a story on health policy.

    As the auction proceeds would ostensibly fund healthcare costs, it seems on topic to muse about the costs being covered by Medicare, or not. If they would be covered by Medicare, the claims of healthcare costs not being met are all the more interesting and discussion-worthy.
