Agreeing here: I must admit that I used the display points as a crutch. My thought process was, "Hey, this has a lot of votes, it must mean that they have something (good|relevant|interesting) to say".
Now, I am forced to read a comment and ask "Do I agree with this? Does this deserve an upvote?" This is a great thing, and it may slow down my karma-giving, but in the long run, the data will be more accurate.
