Have you ever noticed how "Best of Answers" always has basic questions yet still receive several stars?

Seriously, every time I log into answers the "best" are almost always generic or even stupid questions yet they'll receive 100s of stars, why is that? I think its because people think it must be interesting since its on the homepage for everybody to see. Can anybody think for themselves anymore or do they need to be told what's interesting? You see it everywhere and not just on here, too. Movie stars automatically become hot just because they were in a big movie and other people think they're hot. Politicians are believed to be in the right since the media won't report it when certain ones are in the wrong. Give me a star if you feel the same way.
