I wonder if the users who flagged this could chime in to explain what is rule-breaking about this article?

  I was wondering that myself too. Also, do moderators ever move comments around? I thought one comment was a child to my comment last I looked, but now it's a top level comment to this post. I'm not sure if I am mistaken or a moderator moved things around.

    This does happen from time to time. A moderator will "detach" a subthread[1] and move it to the top-level (usually also burying it at the bottom of the page, which tends to silence the discussion). 1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23441803 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23441803

      Thank you for clarifying!

      In this case the comment that was promoted to the top-level has been consistently higher on the page (it’s the first comment still) than the comment it originally responded to.
