If you're going to prevent me from responding and having my response visible, then go ahead and just delete my original comment.

I have, of course, personally read all these justifications for the rule before, but they do nothing to address my question.

If you're talking about your sibling comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22247530, it was flagged by users. I didn't see it, nor did any other moderator touch it. I'll unkill it and reply now.
