Some people are better at voting thanks to knowledge/wisdom/etc; which an egalitarian system suppresses.
Double checking that you are aware that voting is weighted, with higher karma users having the option to give much stronger votes?
Just for convenience, I think the relevant piece of code is this.
Also, from what I read in that file, even normal votes are weighted. A regular upvote/downvote counts double if the user has at least 1000 karma (right?).
Yes, that’s right.
Yep. I’m aware of that. Our karma system is better in that regard, and I should have mentioned that.
