Actually, an average of less than four complaints per application seems 
extraordinarily low to me.

If you regard the comments as an online petition, then typically you'd 
expect it to require a few tens of thousands of people with a common 
view (about each complained-of application) to be persuasive, after all 
there's a worldwide audience for this process.

What's different about the ICANN system is that a lone voice can make a 
complaint which will be heard.
