Yeah, the flags are supposed to help maintain some integrity, but I think the whitepaper based that on whales wanting to keep bad behavior in check. What is that bad behavior, autovoting? So if autovoting is bad, why not flag all autovotes? Oh no, its just some people who get autovoted that 'deserve' to be flagged, or some accounts that are autovoting, right ;)
The whitepaper also mentions keeping crabs in the bucket, with crabs preventing others from escaping the bucket... seemed a bit dark, although comical, but something was fishy about that analogy, seemed to promote some bad ideas. I forget what it was in reference to exactly at this point. I'm thinking of like regression to the mean, a la communistic/socialistic fake equality of some sort. Anyways, something to look into.

Yeah, I found that 'disturbing', to say the least. (and thought it 'communistic' in tone)
Integrity takes a back seat in positive feedback loops as it requires thought , not sheep mentality.
