Why HN links it

Linked in a thread on ending the death penalty as the "Original Position Fallacy", the flip side the commenter says society should learn. It is only a citation, and no comment judges the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
