HN is not a homogeneous whole.

The top comment(s) are only representative of that subset of readers who both a) agree and b) bother to upvote.

I skim read the top few comments then minimise them, or minimise them immediately. I'm looking for what's different to my current understanding, and the top comment(s) almost always are perspectives I'm already familiar with.
