Nope. On SO at least there are lots of folks who amassed hundreds of thousands of reputation merely for being on the site early enough to be able to answer simple and common questions like "how I can remove an array member" and the like.
- NickLarsen 14y agoI'm pretty sure the folks who have amassed "hundreds of thousands of reputation" did it merely by answering 1000's of questions. http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/105837/how-many-questions-have-people-with-over-100-000-rep-answered http://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/105837/how... Sure there are a few questions with highly voted up answers because they are widely useful, but there is certainly the minority of high rep earners. Even the new people who are gaining lots of rep are doing it by answering hundreds of questions. http://stackoverflow.com/users?tab=newusers http://stackoverflow.com/users?tab=newusers
