The GP comment is no longer in a downvoted state, let alone "oblivion". Meanwhile comments like yours linger on as uncollected garbage even after they have been falsified. The thing to do instead is to give a corrective upvote and move on. Most often, fair-minded readers do enough of that to restore thoughtful comments to a non-negative state. In egregious cases, you can always give us a heads-up at hn@ycombinator.com.
