I mean perhaps it is wrong in theory, but in practice the effort that people put into a post vs a comment is typically 10-100x different. We can find manymanymany posts on this website that took many 10s of hours of work to write, and many comments that take less than a minute; there’s a very strong distinction in the distribution of effort that these two contribution types come from.

As I say in my other comment, the average/median/typical comment or post isn’t the important thing here. The important things are:
The best posts and comments; and…
The specific posts and/or comments under discussion in any given case.
