Ask HN: Wouldn't it make sense to calculate karma on comments, not submissions?

It seems irrelevant and unrelated to a specific user that an article that is picked at random and heavily discussed gives the submitter a large number of karma points while the submitters not 'chosen' but who have contributed in equal measure ( and often earlier than the one upvoted ) receive nothing. One would think, this being a community, upvoted comments would be a much more useful measure for karma, possibly the only one needed ?
