Which is a shame, because the only real non-productive comment came from fourfaces which is a rarely used novelty account with -4 karma and the topic is interesting to discuss.
Buried because it is off topic for Hacker News and causes drama.
It's not off topic; it's intellectually interesting.

I have my degree in Theology and I ran for Political Office so I guess no one to talk to :)
