I read this part 3 times, but I think it is either missing some punctuation or some words (or both)...


I thought it made the comment look like it was posted by a bot, in an attempt to troll (some) humans into turning against humans.txt, leaving robots.txt as the "winner".

Not knowing whether this was intended by a human ironically, or actually posted by a bot, or is just the result of someone not getting enough sleep and/or a stray cat on the keyboard, was part of the intrigue.


I'm not even sure what that comment is about, maybe it was posted on the wrong article?


Please don't try turn this into a culture war thing when it isn't, even as a joke.
