In what way is that clever? It's clearly wrong. If it were true, we'd experience three breakages at least 150 days of the year, every year.

I think it is in the spirit of Hacker News to explain rather than just whoosh someone.

You're right, that was not kind. Apologies. It was late at night and I'd read too many depressing news (and many even more depressing, warmongering comments). Not an excuse, just a human factor.

What I should have said:

By clever GP most probably meant funny (with a hint of self-deprecation) rather than smart (or even correct).
