It is a shame this comment will be downvoted only because it does not support the confirmation bias of many HN users.

- johncolanduoni 11y agoDoes HN now show downvoted comments at the top of the page? Interesting design choice...
- Thimothy 11y agoI have seen this phenomena before, it seems that they take into account more things that just how upvoted/downvoted it was, like the posting user karma, how much the answers were upvoted or the answering users karma. It makes sense, sometimes a really stupid comment (not implying this was the case) can sprawl a really interesting discussion. I often look at the bottom of the comments for hidden goodies.
