I think they're asking whether there would be a flaw with making that change.

chcleaves Aug 8, 2013 View on HN

agreed - obviously everyone thinks some sort of a different "change" needs to occur

I can't say you're wrong. I only wonder what it would take to change that...

Why would anyone change something if it wasn't supposed to have any effect?

It's just change = bad without looking at what is being changed and why.

It's good that they change it, but changing something like that makes it hard to seriously argue that everything is fine now.

"Changing your views" isn't what was suggested.

Just because it changed doesn't mean you had a choice.

It's not. Things need to change.

Wow, what's wrong with changing opinions?
