There are infinitely many observations. They don't select themselves. Humans do that, and not for neutral reasons [1].
Your comment was obviously trying to strike a blow for one side of a well-known argument that's going on right now. There are a few problems with that. First, blow-striking is not curious conversation; we can't have both, and HN exists for the latter [2]. Second, these arguments are so well known that the threads they lead to get increasingly predictable as they get more intense [3]. I'm sure you can see how that's bad for curious conversation too.
