You might be right but that tendency would be a result of risk aversion and not anything approximating expected karma optimisation. Assuming reasonable English skills, the ability to proof read and the exposure to the content of this site required to know how the karma works you can expect a significant net karma gain from posts even if you add a lot of experimental noise.
