The ‘trivial inconvenience’ described the experience for the commenter, not the experience for the stifler.
And it’s not hard to get karma for sockpuppets—they can all write relatively innocuous comments and upvote each other.
Theoretically, the more sockpuppets you have, the easier it would be to give each one karma.
Then again I don’t think sockpuppets are really a significant problem at the moment. Hopefully they won’t grow with these changes.
