Am I being pretentious or unfair for wondering what on earth this blog or author is about?
No. Perfectly reasonable question.
lionhearted may or may not have a "track record of success", but he does have a track record here on hn. For every x weird posts, he has a real gem, something that no one else has mentioned that really gets you thinking. Also, he is more likely that almost any other poster to "push the envelope", bring up something that runs counter to the group think often found here.
If he posts something I don't get in the first 3 sentences, I just hit the back button and decide to read him some other day. It's usually worth it.
Some people, in order to hit a few home runs, have to strike out every once in a while too.
J.K. Rowling once said, "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well have not lived at all. In which case, you fail by default."
