You clicked reply, then that post in another tab, then submit. Is this easy to engineer around? Yes, but they haven’t.

Well, it is possible that this exact scenario happened. I don't remember exactly what I did but it definitely wasn't the case of clicking reply, writing comment and submitting it. I also opened this comment section but I don't remember if it was before or while I was authoring the comment.

In any case this is the first time it happened for me and I comment regularly.
