The point is not that it was a good title, it's that you should not respond to a bad title with a bad HN comment. ("Good" and "bad" in this context mean, to a first approximation, in accordance (or not) with the HN guidelines.)
If you had posted a version of this comment instead (i.e. your second comment, which I'm currently replying to), that would of course have been fine.
Btw this is a case of the 'rebound' phenomenon*, which is that often people respond to a moderation comment with the best, most compelling and precise description of what they were originally thinking. It's a pity we can't get those in the first place! On HN it's good to pause before posting anything snarky, ranty, etc., until you** can access that information and then post it instead.
