I don't expect that an incentive to add some unnecessary volume will improve the quality of comments.

Recall Blaise Pascal's "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time" :-)

a lovely quote, I would not say that volume is correlated with quality, but I would say the potential benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Obviously enough people disagree with me.
