> It would not be “informative” for me to research anything, since I already know about the soy lecithin angle and didn’t think it was worth mentioning.

Whereas I would suggest it's precisely the kind of interesting insight that you should have shared, given its potential importance to the discussion, and the fact the word lecithin doesn't appear anywhere in TFA or HN comments (at the time).

Anyhoo, ultimately I did manage to learn something interesting from your 'where I'm standing right now there's shops nearby that sell chocolate that I like' contribution. So that's good.

Aside -- can hyperbole be concise? Brief, certainly. Concise to me suggests accuracy.
