Title: I've noticed recently that for almost every submission that hits the top page, the top-rated comment is a skeptical response to the thesis of the link content or the poster's argument.<p>Go ahead, pick any 5 of the front page posts right now and see if I'm right or not.<p>In general, this is a good thing as taking the skeptical position forces a minimum degree of critical thinking, which makes that comment more useful.  And it's an excellent form of filtering out the large amount of BS we come across everyday.<p>But I certainly would like to see more top comments that agree with what the poster said, or expands on their argument.<p>(Eagerly awaiting the top comment to this post !!)
