> Also "shouldn't be on the HN homepage" is not really a pertinent comment, seeing as it is on the front page, meaning others (via the algorithm) do think it is a worthy submission.

I would argue that, as in a lot of cases with articles that appear on the FP, this one may be getting upvoted as folks are around for the discussion, not necessarily the featured article, as it's just "another clue" as to what the heck is going on with this circus show.

That may very well be the case, but even then there's no reason to disallow it from the front page necessarily. Let readers make their own judgement about whether it's genuine. Heck, that's an interesting discussion in and of itself.

Looks like they have -- it's been flagged (but not by me -- I'm not informed enough about this to make that kind of call).

I noticed, but sadly we can't vouch for submissions, which means only the `flag`s count, so it's not exactly a fair fight

I think vouching only becomes available when it's [dead], not merely when [flagged].
