I think he may have been making a joke.

The phrasing was intentionally unusual and apparently confusing (for which I apologize), but the point was meant seriously, though I'm not confident of it. Multiplying main-page karma by 10 means the same as dividing the rest by 10, unless people care about absolute rather than relative amounts of karma.

Oh, I thought it was intended to be about status-quo bias or something.
