Should comments below proposals be shufled around?

Since the comments below proposals where added some time ago I had the suspicion that they could be used to persuade people to vote in one way or the other.

This suspicions have been growing. I don't have the data to prove it. But I think that people tends to vote following the sentiment of the first comments below the proposal.

That is why I'm proposing to shuffle the comments (randomize the order) each time the page is loaded.

That may break the flow a little bit, but it may prevent lazy people to vote all in the same way that the first commenters.

Not sure how to prove this, or if there is some research on the subject, but maybe is worth implementing just in case.
