Then maybe you can clarify what its actual insight is? I still don't understand how ice shipping is analogous to reviews, or what the common dynamic is. Simply expressing that [1] got me 30 net upvotes and no attempts to explain.

I think a more reasonable hypothesis is that the comment is fluff -- it doesn't communicate anything relevant but somehow makes you feel you learned something and changed your mind. That is not what I want to see more of on HN.
