I always liked the idea of top-level comments being exclusively in-universe, and out-of-universe comments have to be replies to other comments!
That would be better. But I don't think there needs to be a rule at all. Some questions are more suited to Watsonian answers, some to Doylist answers, and users are perfectly capable of judging which is which for themselves. The only rule that was needed was, perhaps, a rule against low-effort responses of either sort.
Totally fair! I hope we get a nice board of that style regardless!
