I expected Grellas to be there, and damn, the average score per comment he has is ridiculous. Rayiner's doesn't make sense, though. An average of 0.75? So he has 57275 comments? Wow.
One of the difficulties this kind of output has is that it runs very quickly into issues of semantics and model labeling. We humans each build models kind of like these when we interact with one another, so when I ask somebody, "do you think is an agreeable person?" and they reply "sure I think he is!" they're consulting that model to provide me an answer.
