WoT appears to rely on users rating the website, and singularity.org would probably be a website that very few WoT users have rated (since it is a fairly niche website), so each rating has a large influence on the overall rating.

And the one comment is complaining about "Mass mailing of non-thematic Forums" (according to google translate), so that person possibly rated it low because they were annoyed by SI.

I see. I rated it highly to try and counter it. Perhaps if a few other LWers did this it would shift the rating sufficiently. And as for me, I will not assume reliability in user-rated systems.
