 * Does anyone know how I can nullify or override the comment_form() function in
   comment-template.php and still pass the theme check?
 * I know I can use comment_form($new_defaults), but seriously. By the time I mess
   with the array. I could have written a working normal type form.
 * I just don’t like it. It’s not very intuitive for theme design. Basically it 
   forces you to use a one “size fits all” format for the comment forms.
 * With the comment forms being a very crucial part of a WP site. It should be easier
   to style than that.
 * I could just ignore it and write my own form but then I’ll fail the theme check.
 * Anyone got an idea for this?
