I believe in the wisdom of crowds, but I also think that your actions were screwing up the results.
If you weren't going to take a question seriously, I wish you wouldn't have answered it at all.
ADDED: I decided not to downvote you because I don't want to discourage being honest/forthcoming.
0% confidence should mean zero weight when computing the results, no?
That's an interesting idea, but I think Yvain just averaged the answers without regard to confidence.
