Do you think someone with an account of say 10 karma points and 2 comments on a month old account is equally likely to receive help, ceteris paribus?

- pervycreeper 12y agoI'm sure it could be a factor (nothing's preventing someone from doing that, after all) but my original point was essentially as characterized in this post below https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7793607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7793607 The tone of the article, I think, was suggestive of a causal relation, which surely doesn't (necessarily or plausibly) hold.
- 001sky 12y agoeven if it is "threshold" its simply a binary relation and not an explanatory variable at the margin. so, yes...you might be able to weed out some data...but of what is left its unliklely to differeniate, except by proxy (as alluded to in the other comments) for something else.
