Ask PG: How could this article not be of interest to HN and hackers?

This link was submitted yesterday (I found this out when I tried to submit the same link today) and much to my surprise there are 12 others who submitted, but no comments most likely because it never made it to the front page or was merely submitted at the wrong time.

This makes me wonder how many other things aren't making it to HN and about the lack of transparency as far as how items get to the front page which clearly involves both votes, comments as well as a manual "approval" by admins.
