I appreciate your helping out a fellow user! but that's not the convention for Ask HNs - those are supposed to be text posts, not links, with a question being posed by the submitter. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.
Thanks & apologies. I was trying to respect the desire to leave it as an Ask HN, but where we are now seems like a better fit & you're of course right on the FAQ. Thanks again.
You had it right the first time! Submit the link, then submit your question as a comment in the thread. The title should be the article's original title.
He totally did have it right the first time. :) I'm not sure the timing exactly but I think I posted, came back, & was like, oh no, it's wrong/bad now!

The title should be in the ask somehow. Ask HN: "validation is a mirage" right? or some such.
