This is tangential, but I should point out that the linked post (while indeed excellent) does not have 196 upvotes—it does not even have 196 votes, of any kind! Hover your mouse pointer over the karma total, and you will see that it has 63 votes (we do not know how many are up vs. down).
This probably does not change your point, but it’s important to keep this in mind when, e.g., comparing one post to another—especially across the history of LW.
