This comment is shown as fine to me, whereas it really is dead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10245424

I'd love to hear a non-malicious explanation for that.

That comment was killed by a spam filter. Those generate false positives sometimes. We've fixed that and also unkilled the comment.

In the future, please do what the HN guidelines ask and email such questions to us at [e-mail]. I only saw this thread by accident.

I'm sure you can see that the post linking to the (simplifying) anti-YC blog being accidentally killed by spam filter can raise questions about whether it was really an accident. I'm not saying it was not - I'm just saying the bayesian probability of this being an accident doesn't look that great to me.

Imagine making a scoring system for domains that that takes into account flags and votes on comments that include said domain. Also, your post had a word written in ALL CAPS, arguably two. You can see other comments linking to the same domain at around the same time [1] that aren't marked as spam.
