[Meta] At the moment, Oliver’s comment has 15 karma across 1 vote (and 6 AF karma). If I’m understanding LW’s voting system correctly, the only way this could have happened is if Oliver undid his default vote on the comment, and then Eliezer Yudkowsky did a strong-upvote on the comment (see here for a list of users by voting power). But my intuition says this scenario is implausible, so I’m curious what happened instead.
We have some open bug-reports/issues with the vote-counter. When certain race-conditions occur the counter can get out-of-sync, so in this case the counter is just straightforwardly wrong. This occurs pretty rarely, so it hasn’t been at the top of our priority list.

(This isn’t important, but I’m curious anyway.)
Probably not that important for this comment, but pretty important in terms of “is voting currently badly broken.” Thanks for the heads up!
