When there are few comments and a lot of up-votes, I assume it's a very good bit of technical knowledge or a nice tip.
When there are a lot of comments and few up-votes, as you said, it's probably a discussion of a flame-baited blog post or controversial material. But in any such article, there is usually one post with a huge percentage of the votes in the first place that sums up the article very effectively.
A lot of up-votes and a lot of comments is probably a news release.
edit: I'm against about making this an explicit, official metric. I've come to learn from experience that once an organization or site tries to implement explicitly what emerged from its community, it's almost universally panned by the community.

That's because features often come from the community rather than from built-in functionality. The users still control that process. Once it's built in, it becomes law, and that sucks.
