He will simply ignore questions he doesn't want to answer, even if they somehow received 3^^^3 votes.

I am 99.99% certain that he will not ignore such questions.

I am 99.995% certain that no question will receive that many votes.

There is a greater than 0.01% chance that Eliezer or another administrator will edit the site to display a score of "3^^^3" for some post. (Especially now that it's been suggested.)

I guess I need to recalibrate!

Not if you meant 3^^^3 "Vote up" clicks registered from distinct LW accounts.

Is that confidence your certainty given that your belief regarding what 3^^^3 means are correct, or are you >99.99% certain in those beliefs.

Well given my recent calibration quiz, this doesn't count for much anyway. I also hadn't seriously considered whether 3^^^3 votes would cause the earth to vaporize.

Upon consideration, I am (and was) >99.99% certain that 3^^^3 is a number too big for me to deal with practically.
