In your blog post: “Most people do not care to find the truth, they care about what pumps their bags”
in your HN comment: “I agree with this comment, but if I wrote more like this my blog post would get less traction.”

This is bait. The comment and the blog post say mostly the same thing, the debate is around the subtle edges.
It's not a "compiler," it's a "probabilistic code synthesizer guided by your constraints"

He cares for the truth by making it accessible to more people.
You said it before I could. Amen.
