The bug poster is a well known German tech blogger (blog.fefe.de , in German), so maybe that's why it's gained traction.
He also whined on his blog that saying "it's what expected abd that's how it works on every browser" is bullshit, Firefox was the 1st browser that e.g. implemented popup blocker, which obviously breaks the "expected" functionality of window.open; or blocking 3rd party cookie also isn't according to the spec of how cookies work.
I try not to make fun of people for admitting they don't know things. Because for each thing "everyone knows by the time they're adults, every day there are, on average, 10,000 people in the US hearing about it for the first time.
Fraction who have heard of it at birth = 0%
Fraction who have heard of it by 30 ~= 100%
US birth rate ~= 4,000,000 year
Number hearing about it for the first time ~= 10,000 day
If I make fun of people, I train them not to tell me when they have those moments. And I miss out on the fun.
Person #1, about to have a messy fun time: "Diet coke and mentos thing"? What's that?
Person #2, in a delightfully pro-knowledge mood: Oh man! come on, we're going to the grocery store.
Person #1: Why?
Person #2: You're one of today's lucky 10,000.
