That was part of my reasoning. There are many karma algorithms that could be deployed in different contexts. If the HN readers found some good alternatives, maybe PG -- or whoever maintains the sites code -- could integrate it as a user preference. For example, I would prefer to read the comments of people who have a few very strong comments rather than people who have many average comments. (Note: I am completely ignorant about HN's code -- I don't know how they cache or calculate anything).
