What's up with the Philosophy Top 10?

LOL -- Since this is a game organized around answering questions we can conclude the top ten have shown themselves as good game players. Morpheus is currently the best player in the field of philosophy, but he has fallen before and may yet fall again in position. Unfortunately, the top ten are not automatically the best students of philosophy. Some can write deep answers, but many of the top ten are sadly lacking in depth. The sad truth is all the top ten lists in every section (and yes this includes Morpheus) are the underbelly to the points and BA game that this format creates. Some are fairly good at the game (yes this includes me) and others less so, but generally there is no connection between being on the top ten list and the quality of an answer.
