Actually, I only saw one comment that was neither stating or refuting some basic misunderstanding of the article (it helps that the title at reddit claims equality). http://reddit.com/info/2pspb/comments/c2pw8a http://reddit.com/info/2pspb/comments/c2pw8a It was modded -1 at the time I saw it. I wonder how can you downmod a purely mathematical argument in that context. As for the smarts of either community, my opinion is that reddit being bigger you get a higher count of interesting comments but a lower signal to noise ratio overall. I don't think this example proves much either way.
