Is someone with more then 50% "Best Answers" in Yahoo, very bright or likely just cheating?
Science tells us that most of the time we (as individuals) are wrong in our fundamental conclusions, and that a successful individual with a high IQ (125-135)can only expect to be "right" about 40-45% of the time on a daily basis. I see individuals with 50+% best answers, and wonder how this can be possible, especially when I read what some of the best answers are.
Given that these best answers are peer selected, and or vote driven the best answer is not necessarily correct, and there is no vetting of the qualifcation of thee person giving the answer, however this should not statistically generate a variance of more than + or minus 1.5% in established response norms.
So subjectively what do you believe the reason for the high best answer rates are?
8 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoWhat is happening to Yahoo Answers?
I see mostly apparently fake questions posted by trolls seeking some sort of laugh at our expense. A few people apparently also obsessed with answering large numbers of questions, often with little meat to their answers, and the same people who obviously are voting for themselves to get some sort of thrill from having the "best answer".
At one time I saw serious questions, good answers and some policing of these two extremes by yahoo. Why has it fallen apart, and what if anything can be done to save Yahoo answers? If you feel it would be better just closing it down , and saving the environment, give me some reasons. Thanks
