I think his comment went over your head.

He was providing bad reasons that someone could use to justify applying to YC

Yep you're totally right, sorry.

What Kayksaakian said. It was bad reasons (as opposed to good reasons) for applying. :-)

My fault. I totally misunderstood. Sorry.

No worries! Humor sometimes doesn't travel well on discussion boards. :-)
