alt Hacker News"taunt" in the sense that you dangle some knowledge in front of people and make them beg, not "taunt" in the sense of "insult".
You said:
>"[...] don't even get what the real argument is."
and then refuse to explain what the "real" argument is. someone then asks for clarification and you say:
"It's definitely not [...]""
okay, cool! you are still refusing to explain what the "real" argument is. but at least we know one thing it isnt, i guess.
you haven't even addressed the "mistaken assertion". you just say "nah" and refuse to elaborate. which is fine, i guess. but holy moly is it ever frustrating to read some of your comment chains. it often appears that your sole goal in commenting is to try and dunk on people -- at least that is how many of your comments come across to me.
I was explicit about what the real argument isn't: the notion that lattice cryptography is under-studied compared to RSA/ECC.
I understand what your takeaway from this thread is, but my perspective is that the thread is a mix of people who actually work in this field and people who don't, both sides with equally strong opinions but not equally strong premises. The person I replied to literally followed up by saying they don't follow the space! Would you have assumed that from their preceding comment?
(Not to pick on them; acknowledging that limitation on their perspective was a stand-up move, and I appreciate it.)
You do "XYZ isn't the right argument, ABC is" on a thread like that, and the reply tends to be "well yeah that's what I meant, ABC is just a special case of XYZ". No thanks.
