Really, this makes sense to you? Well, the community doesn't seem to get it and apparently you don't care about that.
This is a poorly executed idea and does not help the community. If you think that @abit should at least explain himself. To me, this feels like a stakeholder saying, "Hey, I'm running a little experiment. Let me take a big shit right in front of your door so I can study how if affects the flow of traffic to your corner of the world. Fuck everyone if they don't like it and no, I won't explain my thinking behind it because I'm a whale."
Whatever dude, you must be a geek with no social skills or room awareness. WTF? All this makes me want to do is stop writing for a few days until you quit dicking around. It seems to me that this is no better than @asshole's experiment and has just as much value and meaning to the community.
EDIT: Just saw a post explaining the reasoning behind this experment by @meesterboom and I get it now. I can see the results are my votes create greater payouts, but @abit I still think you should explain what your intentions are before springing shit like this on people. Get some buy-in first. You're a smart dude and should know this.
