Why is it that a version of this that was posted half an hour before this was posted was killed, while this is allowed on the front page?

Better chart is this:

No idea. I saw it, followed the link, and thought that while the item has some really, really bad points, it actually has some elements of truth, so I submitted it, and it survived.

It may well have been deleted by the submitter, or flagged to death - I don't know the circumstances of the demise of the previous submission. It's not clear why you talk about it being "allowed" on the front page.

Thank you for the new kind of graph! That's neat. :D
You're welcome. I note that the chart now clearly shows that the submission has been flagged off the front page, and it's currently languishing around 160 or so.

The foibles of HN - sometimes people don't join a discussion and find underlying truths, but prefer to flag it out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
