The concern is in the appropriation of the term 'hacker'.
He's not putting anything or anyone down, he's saying that this is hacking, and MBA posts of acronym soup aren't.
I think his implied conclusion is probably wrong-ish (both are arguably right for HN, even if I vastly prefer this), but he's right in that this is hacking.

One could argue anything they like, it doesn’t mean their argument (or sophistry in general) leads to a better acquiring of knowledge through discussion.
In my opinion, the gp’s discussion is one worth having.
