Why do you think that's the case?
As an empirical matter, it should be possible to track the number of non-Open Thread posts in discussion over time, number of comments on those posts, as well as the number of comments in OTs over time, focusing especially on the region before and after the switch from monthly to weekly OTs. My prediction is that the number of comments in OTs increased as it went from monthly to weekly, and increased again when the Recent Open Threads link was added. Your prediction is that the number of non-OT posts decreased, which seems plausible to me. I am uncertain whether total comments increased or decreased, but suspect they increased.
I think a lot has to do that we at the moment has a rule that certain topics aren't important enough to be in discussion. That's a rule that we could change.
How do you expect to enforce any rule change?
Basically by discussing what rules are good for LW and then in the case we find a consensus communicate that consensus.
