Another way of putting it is that while good hackers aren't necessarily likely to have high karma scores, a high karma score does predict better-than-average hacking skills. No idea if that's true, but that's the hypothesis.

In that vein, I would argue that writing skill is almost as important as hacking skill in most jobs, startups included. I believe PG and others have said something about this but writing skill allows you to accurately convey your own ambitions and competence to the people who will matter.
