If there's a comment that's [dead] that shouldn't be, you should vouch for it by clicking on its timestamp and then clicking 'vouch' at the top of its page. When enough users vouch for a comment, it is restored to visibility. That's why the comment you're talking about is now visible (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20495142), albeit also downvoted.

Noted, thanks! I thought maybe it was dead for some other reason, but in the future I'll just try to resurrect it.

Users have more power to do that than they think they do! It's really a feature for community moderation, and probably the single most salutary thing we've added to the site in the last five years.
