Sorry, I have a meta question. (Will comment on the content later.) When you moved this article from the discussion area to LW proper, did its upvotes get converted at a 1-to-10 rate? :-)
Another (less important) item of curiosity: Are people who upvoted before the move (for 1 point) permitted to upvote again (for 10 points)? Can they back-out their 1 point upvotes, generating a −9 point no-op and then continue to downvote for an additional −10.

Funny, I was wondering the exact same thing. Likewise, if you publish to main LW first and move to discussion, what effect does that have on the point totals?

No worries, I was curious about that too. What happened is: All the existing votes stayed at 1, but votes after that time were valued at 10.

PS: I used to work in software test. :)
