Aforementioned comment maker here. My justification is that, per my understanding of the HN guidelines, it's not that interesting to discuss whether folks read the article completely or not.

This is why I phrased it that way - I think it's an important nugget of information but many folks have limited time to read, or were turned off by the style, and may have not scrolled all the way to the footer to see that.

I thought that comment might help more discussion of bloggery by hand waving the controversial style as an imperfect homage to something intentionally crude.

To that end I also figured there was potential discussion in how OP article doesn't quite hit the same poetic cadence as motherfuckingwebsite.
