I'd find this insulting, if I didn't know that you are
a Zen master of IETF politics, yourself...

It makes no different unless/until the authors/wgs disagree
that changes are required.  With a DISCUSS, the WG is
required to resolve the issue to the ADs satisfaction before
the document can progress (i.e. a DISCUSS is a blocking
action), a comment, like any last-call comment, is non-
blocking input that could be considered and rejected by the
authors/wgs...
