"Disingenuous" has become a way of insinuating astroturfing, which the guidelines ask HN users to refrain from. Please don't do that here. If you have better information than other users, that's great, but please simply provide it, so we all can learn. Attacking the other users' integrity poisons the well, and is mostly a cheap side-effect of the irritation we all feel when encountering views we disagree with.

Real astroturfing exists, of course, but is far rarer than insinuation. If you or anyone are genuinely concerned you might be seeing it, email hn@ycombinator.com so we can look into it.
