you get the egoboo, not everyone is that mature, and by stuffing the process
with mundane votes, you are denying the folks who worked hard to make a good
model, knowing that their peers would judge it as such, (and not on how many
friends they had or how good they were at stuffing ballot boxes) the chance
to win fair and square.
