Thanks for the reminder! I read that at some point.

The problem with this is exactly what I'm trying to address in the AskHN submission: the probability of a random person running across interesting content is much smaller, than that of a group of users with agenda, who monitor new submissions/comments on a constant basis, as they appear.

I.e. there's a non-zero probability that my controversial submission looks interesting to several random people, and maybe they even give me an upvote, but at the same time there's a 100% probability of being flagged and never making it out of "new". In my opinion, this misbalance completely breaks the moderation system.
