Here's a comment I made with +41 points: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2556647 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2556647 This isn't a joke, nobody recognizes my name, it's just a comment that I did a bit of research on before posting. I'm sure there are plenty more like this. Of course some comments get upvoted "incorrectly" (A comment on made about "Winklevoss" being a verb got a lot of points). How does hiding the points negate this? In my opinion, it does the opposite. If you can see scores, you can decide that a comment is "high enough" and ignore it.
