The data dumps generally don't make that easy to extract, and I know that question and answer voting has a very long tail. If they're not accounting for that, the question and answers scores from older questions will skew these results. | |

To get some quality comparison, you should compare it to the average and standard deviation of it's tag, at least. There are SE sites for math and for statistics, right? So there you can get details, but naked vote count is a poor measurement. Also, they tend to ignore the fact that vote count depends also on the SEO position of a question, both in internal and external search. "Ask a popular question to get a popular answer" could be a title of this just as well. | |
