If the moderators kept everything else the same but bifurcated into hn-tech and hn-polisci you might think it would work.

But hn-tech would have a strong tendency to want hn-vi and hn-vim and hn-emacs, and hn-polisci would want -left and -right and -libertarian and before you know it, you've made reddit.

Reductionist, but I suspect you'd break the golden goose.

We could break topics into a hierarchical namespace like comp.editors.vi and comp.editors.vim and alt.politics…

you were doing so well until you brought alt into it. I miss mod.* -The great renaming brought its own growing pains.
