How does one vouch for this?
I don't think this article deserves to be flagged. I'm also unclear if whoever flagged it was trying to flag the article itself or the discussion it created.

You can only vouch for things that have been killed by flags (are [dead])
Oh. Does the flag penalize it in the rankings?
Yes, flags have quite strong impact on ranking.
So there's no way I can "vouch" for it to not be buried somewhere off the front page? That's too bad.
I understand the intent of the algorithm, but personally I feel these are some of the great conversations of our age being held by some very smart people and it seems like the discussions keep disappearing once they get good.
