Since you posted this well after we removed the penalty from the story, I'm thinking you must not have seen https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7611240.

The only issue is that it's not always obvious which stories are the worthy, interesting ones.

If it's not obvious, doesn't that mean further research is in order before flagging it?

That's not always possible, nor does "further research" always yield the right answer. Perfection isn't going to happen. Correcting mistakes? That we can do.

Further research does not always yield the right answer, but it a a damn sight better than flagging something popular based on no information.

Even the slightest look into this would have revealed why it is special.
