Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked for a 2012 post titled "A duck", which one commenter knows under the saying "Take out the duck". The comments only link or name the post and do not judge the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
