It’s open to everyone when open, I restricted it because some people wanted to take a closer look first, but thanks for flagging that “restricted” is unclear.
I think it’s undesirable to force people to click to outside websites unnecessarily (adds inconvenience for users, makes searching harder, not great for RSS feeds, etc.), but doing so and then almost immediately bait-and-switching the document seems especially bad, as it wastes the time of anyone who clicks on the post.
Sorry about that! Having open comments is a new experiment, so getting some more eyes on it and hoping to open it back up soon. But yeah, maybe I should change the title in the meantime, or put it back in drafts.

But good idea for a future experiment!
