The parent comment is talking about how the colors are often set on a toggle. That the user never knows if the toggle is in the on or off position.

  Your parent is talking about their parent's second paragraph, about toggles in settings.

    That is what I am talking about as well >When the icon is white, is it on? Is it off? They reinforce this with another example of ambiguity. The user can’t be suggested to take any actions if they can’t figure out what the default settings are.

      lstamour talked about two things, the proliferation of toggles, and the unclear toggle buttons. ncruces replied clarifying the former, that the toggles proliferate because they convey immediateness. They didn't say anything about the "unclear toggle button" point. Your comment, then, aimed to correct ncruces' comment, clarifying that lstamour was talking about unclear toggles, when ncruces was talking about the other point in lstamour's comment, and thus was already correct.

      > Likewise I thought the article’s punchline was going to be the increasing use of on-off toggles instead of checkboxes. That's the second paragraph. This would be those left/right toggles that became popularized with iOS on the original iPhone (since you could physically slide them with your finger). These also do have color insanity associated, though. The third paragraph used "toggle" in a more general sense. To be fair, the comment has a lot going on.
