No they're not. The linked thread is literally discussing what you describe as "the actual issue".
> The actual issue is that some developer at Apple screwed up their animation configuration when implementing the calculator redesign, and nobody tested adding more than two numbers together quickly. Multiple failures, none involving system performance.
Unless you were talking about the discussion here on HN? I haven't read most of the discussion here yet. I just wanted to point out that the Redditors get it right just fine, since there's a lot of unheeded shitting on Reddit on HN (has always been the case and I think it's sad. HN has got its own community smells, but at least I hardly ever see Reddit dumping on HN and when they do it's in good natured fun poking and not vitriol like here) (btw your remark wasn't vitriolic, but others are very much so).
