I inferred that a museum exhibit setup might be a package put together by a contractor.

And the contract selection process might put a relatively low priority on amount of screen tech in the package.

Museum might get locked into a vendor tech support package after procuring a digital-display-heavy exhibit. Oh joy.

This happens so many times in HN threads that it is difficult not to believe it is intentional

By "this" I mean tangent, distraction, defensive dismissal, etc.

But we cannot jump to conclusions

Assuming it is not intentional, this behaviour suggests a high level of myopia (used here metaphorically to represent an apparent inability or perhaps unwillingness to contemplate life without computers)

HN submitters routinely submit stories that challenge this myopia. These stories routinely reach the HN front page

We can enjoy the entertainment of continual efforts by HN commenters to "change the subject"

I don’t see the value in condescending here. I think the person you’re responding to highlighted an interesting question/point of confusion of whether digital exhibits are on average more or less expensive than physical exhibits in both the short and long term.
