As of now, the controversial posts page includes quite a few posts with 100% positive karma.

Thanks for the correction.

By default, it only lists the past three months of posts, which weren't very controversial. Under the current system, controversial posts probably get demoted to discussion. So long ago that I forgot, I had turned off that filter and so I saw a list of posts from before the current system with scores close to 0 that had received about 50 votes total. I saw the same on discussion. The three month filter for discussion does have scores close to zero, but usually not quite so many votes.

Thanks; I hadn't noticed the filter. When I set it to “All time” it does show posts I'd expect to get both lots of upvotes and lots of downvotes.
