I don’t think this is right. During quiet times, I’ve definitely seen stories in the “live list”, and even on the front page, with only 3 points.

Was it on the bottom half of the front page? If so, it might fall under the moderator-curated group that the author mentions. Or, if it was lower, it might have been there earlier.
