I agree. I didn’t actually expect it to get promoted, since it doesn’t fit the pattern of things I’ve seen on the very front. I’ll show how new I am here and ask, though—Eliezer’s comment read like he had been presented with some expectation that this be promoted. Is that because posts that get upvoted this far typically (or always) are?
Since I didn’t ask, or state that I thought it should be, it seemed a bit out-of-the-blue, which did then and is still causing me to try to figure out whether his objection was only to the idea of promotion, or if he objected to promotion because he thought it shouldn’t be here at all.
