That's a GREAT experiment. A hacker will not change his opinions on the article, either good or bad. He might even ask "so?".
A non-hacker hating the article will mutate opinion, and now regard the piece as an inspiring essay from a challenged minority.
Exactly. I've conducted this experiment myself. One self-proclaimed geek feminist went from a very hostile reaction to what was perceived as something aimed at economic exclusion to a sympathetic reaction to a woman bemoaning assaults on the culture she values.
