That's actually a lot more common than people assume it is, and comments like "I can't believe there are X points but only Y comments" are more common than you'd think they'd be as well!
My theory is that it's a sign of a good article, because more energy is going into reading it than into posting quick comments (which are usually less valuable comments). But I don't have the data.
Edit: well... we have the data (to test this), but it would be enough of a pain to do the analysis that other things will probably take precedence forever.
