Fair enough. But I don't think that's reason enough to flag the story; I think that's reason to submit links to more insightful posts such as you describe, and let them push less insightful ones off the front page.
PS. I'm glad to hear people appreciate posts with more detail and substance, as that's generally what I can write and like to read, but it often seems that the most commented on links are lists, and most of the comments are subjective arguments about why X should or should not be on the list.
