Well, your web app vs web site distinction is very arbitrary. For example, imagine if it happened to be "it's a web app if it can benefit from position:fixed". Then your input isn't going to be very useful here.
Also, your accusation isn't warranted. Just because someone doesn't know your arbitrary distinction between web app vs web site doesn't mean they ignored the person above them.
I don't think most people would consider HN suddenly a web app if it upgraded its <textarea> into a wysiwyg markdown box.

It's subjective. Your assertion that it's arbitrary is unfounded; you're clearly not even trying to imagine what a reasonable definition of that distinction might be.

I'm pretty sure HN wouldn't need to abuse position:fixed to implement a WYSIWYG comment editor.
