You didn't get his point. The submitted URL doesn't provide useful information, https://status.github.com/messages could have been used instead.

May be when the link was submitted the official information wasn't available. OK, then just wait for something useful because if the site is down and I'm affected I can see that myself, I don't need to read HN.

EDIT: oh, looks like the original comment was edited.

Well, in that case, sure.

His statement was a little broad (or even ambiguous) and I think my interpretation was the most obvious/straightforward one.
