The HN guidelines don't mention a submission's suitability for discussion, only comments.

The very first subheading is entitled "What to Submit." I quoted it in my initial reply as rationale for why the people flagging this submission as off-topic were justified.

  • "On-topic" and "suitable for discussion" are partly overlapping sets.

    That's why the Submissions guideline section addresses being on-topic but not suitability for discussion.
