 When the Comment Status box is removed from the Add/Edit Post screens,
 posts should be created with the comment_status set to the value of the
 default_comment_status option.

 I had hidden the Comment Status box via:
 remove_meta_box('commentstatusdiv','post','normal');

 and made sure that default_comment_status was set to open:
 update_option('default_comment_status', 'open');

 After adding a new post it displayed "Comments Off" when I was assuming
 that it should have honored the value of default_comment_status.
