It takes very little to try and explain a concept to someone asking for pointers — assuming of course, you know the topic at hand. Your response is as unhelpful as it gets.
HN tends to be a place where many technical experts explain complicated things succinctly because they know the audience here has a certain baseline of knowledge. I scrolled down until I found this question (as I have the same "huh, what is this anyway?" reaction).
Because I'm a "Very Busy Person" and don't actually have all day to screw around with "every YouTube video", I come to HN to optimize my time spend/information gained ratio.
Likewise, on this topic, even the above is still confusing. People say it's more efficient, then replies say we're already at 95-99% efficiency so it doesn't matter much. I'm still fairly confused!

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
