Wow! 19 upvotes on the article and no comments!
Somehow I have this feeling like these two statistics should be correlated somehow. Does anyone have a theory as to why some things have many many comments and few upvotes while others have many upvotes and a miniscule number of comments? It confuses me and this post is a particularly dramatic example.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I upvote when I see something I want more of, and I comment when I have something to say. The two are not particularly well correlated, as far as I can tell, nor would I expect them to be.
The variable that links them is having read the post. I suspect that JenniferRM's confusion, which I share, stems from the belief that comment numbers and upvote numbers both indicate how much interest there is in the post, but in a case like this those two metrics conflict with each other.
