The above is an article about a famous and influential scientist, Margaret Mead. The article discusses the ways in which her sexuality and her relation with one of her students shaped her work. It is not a very good article and is not very rich in content - but there is nothing controversial about it and its subject matter is certainly of interest to HN. Many people on HN are interested in how influential scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, artists, etc, changed their respective fields with radical new ideas, as Margaret Mead did. Furthermore, the article has received only few votes and does not seem to be on the verge of starting any flame wars. There is no obvious reason such an article should be flagged.
Note also that my comment is not going against HN guidelines that discourage the discussion of downvotes on comments, not discussing the flagging of articles. Read the guidelines carefully if you are in doubt.
