It’s like the high karma answerers are exactly the subset of the site that you want seeing and answering your question because the site supports the idea that they are good at doing that, but they’re always reflected as some kind of tyrants appointed by an evil overlord.
Broken site design somewhere that leads to that effect.
Are you 100% sure?
Because from my experience, the most useful subset is between 100 and 2,000, those with experience but not arrogance. The top karma hoarders more often than not provide citations from official documentation and sabotage questions.
I wish they were appointed by an evil overlord because the overlord is better than a swarm of annoying mosquitoes.
it doesn't communicate that, they're not who you want - as you say in this comment.
That's what I was commenting on. The disconnect between what that karma should say vs. what it does say
