This analysis looks brilliant, but the impression is sort of spoiled by the fact that the prediction of karma gain failed. It is even close to self-referential paradoxes: comment reading “This comment will get X karma” should be upvoted because of its precise prediction when it actually has X karma, but upvoting makes the precision worse and may attract later downvotes.

Yeah, I was way off. I didn’t think people would be that interested in karma theory. I think the big oops was the first bullet point.
