The implicit unfounded assumption is whether that's actually worth more than a well written orderly response. Most comments are kind of crap.
Not everyone is good at writing. In some cases, it might even be a disability aid. And if their comments aren't good, we have a system in place to rank them accordingly. Again, I think the only problem is quantity. If we're overrun with low-effort posts, no amount of ranking will help that.
