Hidden comment scores help us avoid groupthink.

  But make it harder to filter information. I feel safe from groupthink, hence the post.

    Definitely agree on that as well - it's a pros and cons argument. Frankly I miss the scoring for the reason you mention, but I think this method promotes merit. Of course, now we are all subjected to whatever secret algorithm pushes comments to the top of the page, but I'll naively trust that it's doing its job properly ;-)
