Fully agree, HN is absolutely not the place to get insight on population-level experiences with tech (or most anything else population-level; my pet peeve is people generalizing their education experiences). These population-level problems are far better understood by a process of deduction and looking at what the data says.

I always read these types of comments remembering the response to Dropbox [1] or Slashdot's response to the iPod ("No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.").
