That was an unsubstantive comment, that started a generic tangent, and veers onto the wrong side of these parts of the guidelines:

Don't be snarky. Converse curiously

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.

I understand you probably didn't know that or may not accept the assessment, and that's fine, but please know that we consider it important that comments should be about the article's primary topic and that they activate curious conversation.
