Likely because just "why?" can come off as flip rather than indicating actual interest. Text-only forums can make it hard to show where you're coming from with such a short response.

If X-Frame-Options is removed from the HTTP stream, the modified page can be displayed. Browser scripting or a 'Man in the middle' attack (on the content provider not the user) are possible approaches to working around the limitation.
I pointed it out for the sake of suggesting a work around. I'm a big fan of people taking control of their own browsers and I dislike that X_FRAME-OPTIONS is designed to prevent people from mashing up web content however they want.

I've updated README to clarify this.
