[Meta] Speaking as someone who upvoted this, (edited for clarity) why did someone downvote? Not everyone knows what Hanson looks like. This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed on LW an answer having more karma than the question, which is a Thing That Bothers Me. (Although I do think that there is such thing as a stupid question, this isn’t obviously one of them.)
In general posts in discussion are expected to contain more information than a simple link. As the time of this writing the post with the most upvotes is saying “I think this kind of submission is better suited in an open thread. :)”.

I’m confused as to the placement of the above comment.
Why are you confused? It’s a perfectly obvious that it is misplaced due to prior poster’s confusion about your post’s target. ;)
He looks a bit like Jack Nicholson in Batman, going by that picture. O_o
I’m not sure about the downvote. I’m upvoting the question on the grounds that noticing confusion is good.
