user1604: According to the Comment privileges page, only after gaining 50 reputation can a user comment everywhere(on posts by other users).

Comment Everywhere
  Privilege Type: Communication Privilege
  Awarded At: 50 Reputation

It is known that a user with even 1 reputation can comment on their own posts but cannot do so on posts by other users but seeing this particular comment has raised issues on this feature. How can a user with just 1 reputation comment on a question which was not posted by them? It mostly seems like a bug unless there was a change in the Communication Privilege feature.
FYR, this is that comment(in case it gets deleted later).

user24: This is status-bydesign, and no, the user doesn't have the ability to comment everywhere yet. 
♦ moderators have the ability to convert answers to comments. It happens fairly frequently here that new users who don't understand our policies will post answers which do not answer the question. When these answers are flagged as "Not an Answer" or if a moderator sees them before they're flagged, they'll delete them, but if the post makes sense as a comment the moderators will sometimes choose to convert it. That's what happened here, and as far as I know the only way that a <50 rep user can comment in places other than their own questions/answers and answers to their questions.
Here's a screenshot of what the deleted answer looks like for someone with the moderator tools privilege (currently at 2k rep):

As a note, this user still can't post more comments on that post (as far as I know). If you try to respond to them, they can't talk back.
