> r/Technology leads all SubReddits, with an average of 2,027 Karma per Post

Is this saying that all posts in r/technology get an average of 2027 karma?

That can be a fact.

Or dogs are rare enough that they're worth naming, because cats are default. Seriously, run whatever calculations you want, but be careful about what conclusions you draw from the numbers.

So two big design issues, if you scroll down from the wheel of terms you go wobbly, clicking the down arrow below that last wheel, also wobbly. If you use on of the tabs to go to a graph you create a 'back loop' where the back button takes you to the start, then back again takes you back to the graph, then back to the start then back to the graph ....

The data is interesting but I expect to see a bit of analysis in projects like this. Without it the project becomes a sort of data Rorschach test where the viewer projects their perceptions into it.

Good point. We like to stir the pot a bit though.

My prior on that is extremely low, so my guess is that's like, of the posts that make front-page? Or of the top posts. What this really reflects, therefore, is something more like how up-votey people are.

We are aware of a lot of the issues on the home page and plan to completely redesign it soon. However which graph are you talking about? If it's the post tracking we will definitely look into it.
