I disagree. The difference is that, by allowing replies to accumulate
and reading them filtered to +3, you have a decent chance of finding out
when a submission was likely off-base.
It's not uncommon to have 2-3 news items a day that completely missed
the point, or misrepresented the point, of the article or technology on
which they're reporting.
