Haha sadly from reading many of the rest of the comments, the typical HN reader seems unconvinced that trees or rain could impede Wi-Fi signals, because their Wi-Fi at home goes through walls just fine. A few even suggested I shouldn't have bothered with Wi-Fi and instead just laid cable across a few city blocks instead :)
But I do appreciate precise language and the desire to help people learn new things, so thanks for helping make the distinction between MIMO and beamforming clear! I hope at least a few more people know about it now thanks to your comments.
