It's a tradeoff. Otherwise, you would have spammers commenting on all new posts. Sometimes I do see golden comments stuck at the bottom because the poster was late to comment. It's bad but there really is no easy fix. It's up to the community to upvote all quality comments (and submissions)...even if that means having to scroll to the bottom of the post to find great comments. Like pretty much everything else in life, the system isn't perfect. I'm sure PG would listen if you have a better way of implementing comments.
