If you read the article, it specifically points to remote learning as the thing that put students behind. I think the commenter believes that the negative effect of remote learning is overstated relative to other factors.

the commenter didn't even mention remote at all tho

I think it's fair to assume, in the discussion of an article, that all the discussion is related to said article.
