  value: It leverages the authority of the Hacker News platform and the loaded term 'must' to imply normative force, while providing zero credibility signals (no author, no source, no justification). The main tension is between the imperative tone and total absence of supporting logic or validation — making scrutiny impossible, not unwarranted.
