That's a great point. LW is not MIRI. LW comments are not MIRI research. LW moderation policy is not FAI source code. Etc.
The proper response to basilisk would probably be: "So, tell me about the most controversial comment ever in your web discussions. You know, just so I can popularize it as the stuff your website is really about."
I don't think the idea is that LW is about the basilisk, but rather that the nature of the basilisk exposes flaws of LW. Whether it does that depends on circumstances; while it's trivially true that any website has a most controversial comment, not every website has a most controversial comment that happened like the basilisk did.
