I think it would be a bit confusing to an outsider, but I agree that it wouldn’t be any significant obstacle to understanding, which was my whole point.
The edge-case-ness does not come from it being not a good fit, but more from the dimension of “there are common misunderstandings of our rules that might cause someone to think this post should not be on the frontpage”. You should think of the comment above being written to help people understand what our guidelines are and why this post is a good fit for the frontpage, not as something that tries to indicate the post is only barely a good fit.

Thanks for explaining, makes sense to me now.
