I may be wrong but I am under the impression that "flagging" something merely brings it to the attention of a mod. Certainly, I've never seen anything happen as the direct result of me flagging something.


In this instance at least flagging it took it off the front page and did so quickly!

What was the readers reason for flagging it?


Likely to engender exactly the sort of boring meta discussion that you've managed to start :)

(After a while you get attuned to the HN hive mind/group subconscious, and it's easy to tell which articles will induce this sort of thing.)
