I don't know how HN score metrics work but after some short review of the datafile [1] I've noticed a lot of the posts has the form of a simple questions and as such seems to be naturally biased when comes to user engagement. Have you considered to add additional metrics to remove that bias and re-analyze?

- jayalammar 4y agoWhat do you mean by naturally biased? That people seem to favor them?
- toppy 4y agoPeople seem to be more engaged in discussions arising from questions rather than statements, no?
- jayalammar 4y agoI think that's part of the expectations out of "ask HN". I don't know that the same effect happens outside of Ask HN.
