Sure, but you'll need to do more than "read several HN articles over the years" (presumably completely unrelated to anti-cheats?) to get even a basic understanding of how anti-cheats work, as he went on to demonstrate.

I also just thought it was unintentionally funny, like a comedic setup for a stereotypically cocky HN user to comment with great confidence on something way outside of their field of expertise. (not saying that's the case for mjevans)
