This is a strange pattern. Your post is massively downvoted, and every one of your comments on it are massively upvoted; enough to make the post a large net karma gain.
I'm not sure if that means the post and comments taken as a whole are something LW wants, or whether perhaps there was a better way to get the insights in your comments into the post itself.
Both of those seem like plausible inferences given your observation.
I also take it as evidence that LW's standards of evaluation for posts are very different than for comments.
That said, I suspect your observation is wrong. Given that each vote on a post is worth 10 karma, the post + comments is still a significant net karma loss at the time that I write this.
Last night it was down as low as -8. Currently it's at -2, which puts me back in net karma gain territory. I suspect the main post will continue to be upvoted as more people have time to think about it.
