Yeah, I don't get why what I said bugged you so much either. This is downthread of people talking about the idea that was pretty current maybe 15 years ago that 3D printers were going to be like washing machines and everybody would just print whatever they needed at home. Instead, it's a somewhat niche hobby that never really broke out into widespread use.

You misunderstand what I said. I know why it bugs me - it's because your perspective is demonstrably wrong - and I'm sad that I still feel compelled to refute your lazy, cynical perspective.

I don't know why someone who thinks like you hangs out on Hacker News. Wouldn't you be more at home on Passive Consumer News? I'd suggest you go make that real, except... never mind.
