Aug 7, 2016 at 19:19 comment added Trevor Boyd Smith @DavidPostill you keep repeating the same thing over and over in your last 4 comments without mentioning anything about the content of the questions I have pointed to. IMO the content is better... that is why in my answer I expressed "the first one is better". My second example is also IMO a better question/answer... yet it is marked as duplicate (question1 marked as dup vs question2 )
Aug 7, 2016 at 19:14 comment added DavidPostill Mod I cannot remember for sure but it could well be that the most highly voted questions were also on the HNQ list as well.
Aug 7, 2016 at 19:12 comment added DavidPostill Mod You cannot rely on votes to tell you which is the best answer.
Aug 7, 2016 at 19:11 comment added DavidPostill Mod Again that one was tweeted. "Aug 2 at 9:26 history tweeted twitter.com/super_user/status/760406311054041089 "
Aug 7, 2016 at 18:51 comment added Trevor Boyd Smith AGAIN... superuser.com/questions/1066261/…: the same thing is happening where a high quality question/answer is marked as a duplicate ... when I click the "this question already has an answer" I find a question/answer that has total upvotes of 2 ... vs the "duplicate" which has 35 total upvotes. So the "duplicate" has 17 times the total upvotes... but somehow that is the "duplicate".
Aug 7, 2016 at 18:37 comment added Trevor Boyd Smith @DavidPostill so one of them was tweeted and one was not... IMO I still think the first one is better quesiton and better answer. Stackoverflow/Stackexchange/Superuser policy is to point to the "best answer" or "highest quality" and IMO the first one is "best answer" and "highest quality".
Aug 7, 2016 at 18:34 answer added Trevor Boyd Smith timeline score: 3
Aug 7, 2016 at 18:33 comment added DavidPostill Mod Note that one reason the first has so many upvotes is "Aug 4 at 0:31 history tweeted twitter.com/super_user/status/760996646234759170". That will massively skew any voting statistics.
