>> Insulting your audience is never a good way to get a warm reception.
I wasn't insulting anyone. I was going by my own comment's previous reception. A downvote, and nothing else to say why so. You may have a point that I assumed the worst (about people not getting it), but neither does downvote w/o even a cursory explanation.
It is not as if we dropped out of our mothers and learnt to navigate the World A-class, from day-one.
Edit: I appreciate your trying to point out HN culture to me, but it could always be done without excessive snark (IMHO).
