I can't for the life of me remember making this comment.

I'd guess that it was meta; it was semi-smart, but not very productive, so it deserved to be downvoted, which is what it asked for, and which it got. Basically, smart-sounding comments with tenuous relevance are a waste - the smartness should not be a shield.
