Actually, it took about half an hour from the point where I finished reading Jack's post to when I posted this up.
Swombat.com started partly as a place to aggregate my commentary on articles that I think worthy of extra attention and comments.
Worth noting that I didn't submit this to HN. Others did, and they upvoted it, so clearly some people are disagreeing with your view. If you don't like it, just read something else and don't upvote.
As for formulating it without mentioning Jack's article, sure, I could have done that, but that would have been dishonest and lame, since the article was indeed inspired by Jack's writings.
