Only if you calculate based upon the root. Most clients don't display root counts. There's also no differentiation, based upon depth or entropy.

-- Interesting tidbit

I mean, maybe it _should_ be ranked higher. Maybe we're all just here to say GM to Jack. But I'm saying that I don't know if algo developers are considering this effect. There's a reason why trending feeds are so mind-numbingly dull, and this is the reason.
