Uh they kinda do. People upvote accurate definitions, and downvote bad ones.

As for the number, I notice that common sayings will have a lot. And obscure or made up ones will not get much attention. The number of votes on that is very small.

Okay goodness call me a liar, damn. I could have just ignored your request for knowledge or told you what I happen to know off the top of my head with no evidence, but I went out of my way to find you two citations.

Thank you for letting me know I will never miss any nourishing conversation by blocking you.
