Logic always wins in the end, except when people start injecting opinions into what is a strictly numerical count of "interest".
Sentiment may not be accurate because there is no option of positive and negative sentiment, so thanks for the correction.
Again the question is begged, what good is a numerical indicator if there is no way of measurement of the relative nature of the indicator?
Is 100 boardmarks good or bad? If there were 2 board marks a week ago, this may indicate interest has increased, and perhaps a potential investor should take some time to do further research. If there were 500 boardmarks a week ago, again this would raise questions as to the suitability of a particular investment, and further research is needed.
Obviously somebody very high in the Ihub ivory and stucco tower thought that it was important enough to include on every single board, present mod excluded apparently.
