Thanks. Now instead of abrasiveness it's abrasiveness without context. Is your software just not capable of hiding things without "detaching" them, or is there reasoning behind this incomprehensible moderation policy?

I'm not sure I understand your question. But I shiver at the wrath of Hacker News were we to "just" hide things.
By that I mean "hide from people without showdead", of course. (I have it on.)
The question is "why do you move moderated comments from where they were to the top level?".
Usually we do that so we can mark the detached subthread off-topic, which makes it fall in rank. In this case we didn't add that extra penalty, but detaching it from the top subthread had much the same effect.
