The "this topic is less-than-maximally-important" critique applies to pretty much every story on the HN homepage.

My critique is not that this topic has shown up "a time or two" on the HN frontpage. And to be perfectly frank, I think you know that. My critique is that this topic shows up constantly on the HN frontpage. And more broadly, it claims a level of coverage far out of proportion to its impact on almost anything.
