Is there a deep flaw in the logic in which HN is presenting the submission? Or did the HN population completely uninterested in websecurity?

A colleague of my pointed to this article from the dropbox's techblog about CSRF [1].

Interestingly enough another post from another website [2] on the same topic, got the exact same attention.
