Sounds like you've found some good reasons for allowing comments on Pages.
If it works for you, keep doing it!

(In response to John's response to my previous response LOL)

I'm not totally sure there could not be a discussion about a legal disclaimer (nonprofits usually don't really know how to manage these legal questions and simply copy and paste some sentences from other websites, bla, bla… but this is not the point ).

There are plenty more things you can find in pages. For example, I used to have a couple of pages explaining the technical architecture of my blog and how to manage a multilanguage blog (as mine was), which were of interest of new visitors, who used to ask or comment. Author's CV can be also an interesting page to comment. In NPO blogs you can find pages like “who we are” and things like this that can actually lead to quite interesting discussions about missions, goals and so on.

So my conclusion is: leave commenting tools available in pages and let the users decide whenever they want to comment or not. Of course, you may agree or not.

Btw, thank's John for your always useful content.

I wouldn't be interested in having a discussion about a legal disclaimer
Page, for example.

I can't see any reason that makes me hide comments on pages. Of course, usually most comments will take place on posts, but why not give your readers the chance to write down on your pages if they want to do it? I always feel quite strange when I realize I can't comment on a page. In fact, pages display information that usually remains static through the time, so the author believes it's IMPORTANT info, which can be subject to discussion or whatever else as comments are.

The easiest way is how I mentioned in the post.
