I've noticed that I'm actually getting more out of the hidden-karma comments because I am not able to skim as easily. I'm also not forming preconceived notions of a comment's quality before I read it, which is activating the critical-thinking bits of my brain more than usual. Yet because the comments are still sorted somewhat intelligently, I'm not really being drowned in the cruft like one would expect.
