As I stated in the article, I think understanding the difference between ratio of badges given for comments as opposed to posts is important to quantify. In the future, I would like to collect that data and run another analysis. However, it won't explain the lack of strong correlation since comment rating is also not significantly correlated with popularity rank or follower total. I think the cause of lack of strong correlation is from not taking into consideration the number of times someone has commented. Those that comment infrequently and/or those who have just joined the site are being ranked high because they have a small sample size of comments. (I probably explain it better in point 3 of the discussion)
