>comments that are considered valuable are voted up

I don't believe you're naive enough to believe this is the whole truth.

If you are, take a look at this thread, where the parent comment (that you compared to other irrelevant comments) is the most upvoted.

Difference between what's considered valuable and what is valuable. Most communities lean a certain way. To little surprise, this community is also pro-open source and against the current US administration. My point is that whether or not a comment belongs is a product of the voting system.
