My preferences for top level posts, which seem to be a higher standard than the community average, is that they should present some novel insight into a relevant topic, and reflect some research into previous work on the topic; or that they offer a deep review of a relevant work external to Less Wrong.
Do you mean to imply I am underestimating the community average standard? I was basing my assessment on karma scores on posts I consider low quality, not so much on what people decide to post.
Good point—I still think it is relevant to note that those with low standards will be more willing to post, but given that your evidence is independent, the “bear in mind” is unwarranted.

Bear in mind that those with lower standards will make more top-level posts.
