I'd rather have to point out a rule 5 times to 5 different new people--and possibly be better able to help them out on other topics!--than to have those 5 people all see a "high-rated" thread and not get the rest of the help they might need easily.

But that's the glory of reddit. It gives new questions a chance to be answered. You can still sort by popularity but their questions wouldn't be shoved at the bottom of the stack. Also, you'd only downvote the worst of the worst. This would help keep the threads small by having good answers and new questions at the top, and not so good answers and irrelevant comments at the bottom.
