Sheer volume is worth something. Perhaps only a little after the fiasco at the FCC with the forged net neutrality comments.

Isn't the FCC process actually explicit about the fact that number-of-votes isn't a factor? I don't know where I read this, but I feel like I read something about the regulatory feedback process and thought to myself "this is exactly how AfD at Wikipedia work" (where voting is also useless and actually counterproductive).
If volume isn't expressly ruled out as a factor it probably ought to be.
For the unfamiliar, AfD is "Articles for Deletion"
