Excuse me but you think anecdotal comments degrade HN based on your dislike of them, so the solutions is a natural language processing plugin to filter them out?
I mean I also think - based on my personal experiences of natural language processing (which are limited) and my readings in the field which are also not as extensive as they could be - that filtering out anecdotal comments (as opposed to low quality comments in general) would be a difficult task - but probably the solution is just to wait a few more years given current rate of progress in the field.
It's just - I think there are problems with this idea.
