> Points should be normed by impressions, and then smoothed (or given credibility intervals or something).

I agree that this might work better for determining correctness of informative comments than just plain point scores, however point scores work better than nothing at all.



If someone states something that's incorrect, reply to the comment and explain why! ;)


But often there are multiple replies with opposing opinions. Without the points we don't know which opinion HN agrees with.


HN isn't an entity - and you can't rely on aggregation to form an opinion. You still need to think and form your own opinions.
