Perhaps it should just prevent you from writing a comment before reading the article.

I like to read the article first, get a feel a of what it's about and then read comments to see further analysis. Reading article first let's me think about it before I get influenced (negative or positive) by reading the comments.

I agree, commenting without reading the article and only reading the comments is a sure-shot way of making a mistake.
