This is a nightmare. Please end this. There are 201 comments in this thread at this moment. I am not interested in reading 201 comments about this experiment. I am however very much interested in seeing what the top few most insightful comments in this thread are. That is a very important signal. Right now I am feeling blind as a bat...

AFAIK, comments are still sorted by weight. Is it that hard to just look for the top (literally) comments?

Nah... Comments are sorted by score and freshness. On top of that it is a threaded discussion.

I'm aware of the sorting algorithm.

So, worst case, you'll end up reading a new comment with no votes and not know it. This is by design; fresher comments appear at the top so they have a better chance of being read, and up voted if applicable. Do your part and vote on the comments that you think deserve it, not the ones that everyone else does.

I don't see what a comment's score has to do with the structure being threaded: they're still in the same exact place.
