Thanks for clarification; I already had a pretty good idea of how this worked.
I still believe that we should map what happens in real life, which is: "if someone influential says something, you listen more carefully".
Do you think this makes sense on HN?

There are a lot of topics discussed on HN. If someone has relevant experience that really changes how the comment should be taken, they can say so in the comment. It doesn't always make sense to believe people on one thing if they have made good comments about some other subject.

Don't you think that your conclusion means that the Karma system on HN is fundamentally flawed?
I think all karma systems are flawed :) But I like HN's better than most. It has been tweaked over time to fit the community.
:D
