This is the kind of shallow dismissal we don't want on HN.

I think it exceeds that bar. If he had said "TLDR" and ended it there, sure but he approached it with humor and with a few quips I found relatively eloquent. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with that.

He is humorously criticizing the author's artistic choices. I think he did it pleasantly enough, how else do we want this to be done on HN?
