I understand the vilibility->optimization effect and I, too, feel the pull. However, I often make commenting or posting decisions which I expect to be karma-suboptimal, and so do many others here. Or at least that's what I think I do. Much more often now than when I first started participating here. I assume that Kaj, with over 30k karma, would care even less about maximizing karma.
I certainly can't speak for Kaj, but I'd hesitate to assume that people with a lot of karma care less about getting more of it. After all, caring a lot about karma is likely to increase someone's chances of getting a lot of karma in the first place.
