Mostly I come to slashdot to read the commentary, the actual summary isn't bothering me that much. In fact this just makes it harder to read. I'd be a lot more concerned that I can't click on links in threaded posts because the site now wants to just open every post in the thread above it first - stop that please! The KISS principle applie shere.
If the summaries were more accurate and fact-checked, the discussion could start on the topic. But since we often times get wrong statements, opinions are raised based on the wrong assumptions, those have to be refuted and checked etc. etc. I think better summaries would start better discussions.
