Let's try not to derail this with pointless semantic mincing; the comment above mine said this was "a bad HN submission". What else is that supposed to mean?

What salient difference could they mean between "A bad post" and "A bad HN submission", aside from them simply not having a coherent train of thought?

They meant that it is a good blog post (likely - not specifically stated), but that when posted on HN, will likely inspire bad comments. I interpreted your comment as conflating the concepts 'post' and 'submission' - the difference I saw was that I read 'post' with a non-HN context (a post on an external website), but submission with a HN context (specifically, a submission on HN).
