And it wasn’t my argument. You can understand your company without understanding every intricacy of your products. A good example is Tim Cook, who understands operations but not design or programming (and doesn’t pretend to) and yet helms Apple into greater heights (even if I disagree with the direction). A company is not a single person, that’s why you hire.
Furthermore, I wasn’t rude or aggressive towards you, and would thus appreciate the same courtesy. Especially when your vitriol comes from a place of misunderstanding and strawmanning. That is not what HN is about.
