Correct. It is instead something that people should usually say is true because belief or practical assumption that defection is impossible is a better signal to send than that they could easily defect if they wanted to but choose not to.
It does so happen that I am incredibly talented when it comes to automation and have created web bots that are far more advanced than that required to prevent anything I would consider an ‘error state’ in voting patterns, essentially undetectably. It just so happens that I couldn’t really be bothered doing so in the case of lesswrong and have something of an aversion to doing so anyway.
I mean, I’ve already got 20k votes in this game without cheating and without even trying to (by, for example, writing posts.)
Even if we agree to pretend that defection is impossible, you can also correct the wedrifid votes in a socially endorsed way by calling the attention of your allies to the exchange.
