"More is better" is implicit. If the number has no meaning, then why calculate and display it?

- techbio 16y agoI don't get that more is implicitly better. It is pretty clear from a naive glance at the list of leaders that there are diverse average points that correlate to diverse posting styles. If you want it scaled to fit a continuum of "bigger is always implicitly better", a more reasonable number would be: average of (comment points/parent points) Even if a number has no [absolute cardinal, > x] meaning, there is still a nominal information value to the datum.
