Because it is not reasonable to expend high effort to verify something that took no effort to create. That is not a workable long term solution. Instead you have to rely on low effort signals to signify if something is WORTH expending energy on.
Agree, but, ah, can you illuminate. <totally-offtopic data-but="i am intesnely curious"> Quite amazing 6000 points in under 3 months. Yuge. OK a few almost 1K posts, but they drop off. You must have some mega-point comments. Can you, eh, "point me" to a comment of yours that has a super amount of upvotes?
Sorry if this is weird, it's just I've never personally experienced a comment with anything more than 100 - 200 points. And that was RARE. I totally get if you don't want to...but like, what were your "kilopoint" comments, or thereabouts? </offtopic>
