I don't think it's an Iimpossible standard to separate "how well did the author argue their point" from "how much .I agree with the point the author argues".
I am sure it's not, but people in an online community, even this one, will not meet it in large enough numbers. It's hard to be rational.
This is not meant to be judgemental, I am sure I am bad at this too (but I pretty rarely use the karma system).
The results will fall short of perfection but that isnt a good reason no to try. Fallacy of gray.
I am not saying you shouldn't try, I am saying given the current state of things, it is probably safe to ignore any karma score that isn't very positive or very negative. It's hard to get signal from other scores.
Let's say a post of mine has -2 total karma. What should I conclude from this? My point is, essentially nothing.
