This might be a dumb question, but is this based on the collective wisdom of HN. Because I would say that the collective wisdom is just as much in the interaction of the comments and the ranking of those comments as it is in the comments themselves. If you just injest all the comments wholesale, aren't you rather getting the average wisdom of HN?

I believe it's always going to be an average. The more interesting question is how is the average weighted?
