Wouldn't that lead to the top rated comments being rated even higher, while newer (but still good) comments are left by the wayside?
This would happen simply because the commenter posted outside of the time the topic was most popular (most viewers).

Sometimes I do see golden comments stuck at the bottom because the poster was late to comment. It's bad but there really is no easy fix.
It's up to the community to upvote all quality comments (and submissions)...even if that means having to scroll to the bottom of the post to find great comments.
Like pretty much everything else in life, the system isn't perfect. I'm sure PG would listen if you have a better way of implementing comments.
