<p>> I fail to see the benefit of subscribing to a viewpoint that is so black and white, and why definition that allows for no exception is necessary.<p>Maybe look at it in a different situation. Imagine someone punched you in the face and when you confront them about it they saying that you're holding to silly semantics about what it means or does not mean to get punched in the face.</p>

<p>Why didn't you restore the original comment? It doesn't seem to break any rules. The most frustrating aspect of HN is that there is no easy way to have meta discussion about the rules or the actions of users.</p>

<p><i>You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray’s case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the “wet streets cause rain” stories. Paper’s full of them.<p>In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.</i><p>– Michael Crichton</p>

<p>Can you even really blame the consumers? That's like blaming the birds who eat at bird feeders instead of the people who put out bird feeders in cities [1]. Blame the corporations and builders.<p>[1] Bird feeders can contribute to the decline of native plants when birds who  disperse the seeds in their scat feed at the feeders, their scat often lands somewhere where the seeds have no chance at germinating (sidewalk, mowed lawn etc)</p>
