Interesting. I have noticed that my most-upvoted comments relate to legal questions, which I have relatively more expertise than most HNers (I used to be a lawyer). Although I'm not among the top commenters for law/legal/lawyer according to this tool, I definitely recognize some of the top names and can recall seeing their comments in legal threads. Pretty cool tool!

Does the HN API include comment score?
No.
Wait, then this tool is based on volume of references?!
That would be weird. I rant a lot about spirituality and religion and it doesn't show up. But that one time I talk about pregnant man emoji and now I'm the reference for that.
Very interesting, thanks!
