"It would be humorously appropriate if the top comment on the thread about the official HN t-shirt were the traditional nitpicking/point-missing type that is so commonly the top comment"
I'm pretty sure he was talking about the comment...

When I first read pg's comment I interpreted it the same way as cperciva. But after reading your comment, I'm not sure any more.
Please read pg's next comment(above) and you might be sure again. I think he meant what cperciva interpreted. Here - "I want HN to be a site where people engage in meaningful discussion that I try to discourage people from upvoting the first dismissive comment they come across"

Agreed, my first instinct was right.
He wasn't saying the original comment was unreasonable at all. The original comment is the exact kind of thing you would see as top comment on this kind of post, and that isn't a bad thing.
