The poster edited their comment. It originally started something like "tl;dr no really I didn't read the article" and proceeded with the speculation (and hubris that it's the "only reasonable explanation") that remains at the time of this writing.

I downmodded the comment because it's the type of quick, non-substantial response that actually detracts from conversation among those who took the time to read the article and want a real discussion.

I downvoted the parent post because before the post was edited, the OP stated he didn't even read the article. If you come here to comment on an article, you should at least try to read it.
