The comments are still banned, so it’s unclear what you are talking about (maybe they were banned, unbanned and banned again?). If the account’s posting rights were previously revoked and then given back, it’s implausible Eliezer could be the one giving you the posting rights, right in the middle of this post. It’s strange how the parent comment got 40 upvotes (and 20 downvotes), seems too many for a sane manual sockpuppet farm. Anti-moderation faction?
Anyway, banning the copies of banned comments posted as The_Lion2. Neutral on the original moderator’s decision, but against such workarounds.
The other comments suggest at most 10-15 upvoting sockpuppets, so either they obsessively registered many new ones to upvote this particular comment since posting it, or upvoting of past discussions was kept at a moderate level. A priori manual sockpuppets seem more likely, and given how carefully the banned comments were restored from The_Lion2 account, this person is sufficiently diligent to pull it off in manual mode.

Why would it be either manual or sane in this case?

Yes, that’s what happens.
You may want to adjust your beliefs to reality.
You really need to leard better excuses than “only following orders”.
