This does not surprise me. Think of all the comments on Reddit that are "this" or "what he said" or similar. All of the short comments are going to drag the average down very quickly. I bet if we drew a graph of comments on Reddit it would be skewed to the short end. What would interest me is if you could somehow scrape this data and then filter for age of accounts. i.e., see if older accounts are more likely to post longer comments. Or not post at all.
