People write comments when they feel that they have useful contributions to make. It is much easier to notice that you have nothing worthwhile to say about a vectorizing compiler than about, say, the NSA.

One way to get around this is to go meta, e.g. to discuss the commenting habits of others instead of the submission.

I went meta myself, sorry about that.
No apology needed, I was trying to make fun of myself, not you.
