It’s not, but I find that many of the quotes lower down on the list are very good themselves. Being upvoted a lot is not just a function of being appealing to LW members, but also being posted at a time and place where many members will take notice, and I think some of these quotes were shortchanged in that regard.
When I just saw short segments of the sorted list, without karma scores, I was unable to guess whether the segment was from the top or the bottom of the list.

I had the same observation. I found myself opening up rather a lot of permalinks in tabs so that I could vote a whole lot up and more than a few down a well.
We probably also lost a lot of value when it comes to quotes in replies. This one by logi is at 29 but probably is not scraped.
With 1361 quotes your “Best of” isn’t very selective.
The sorting helps quite a bit.
