I never really saw how making the counters random helped fight bots.
Anyone who wants to know if their bot armies upvotes are counted can just choose 2000 articles, upvote a random half, then see if the half they upvoted have higher vote tallies than the half they didn't.
No amount of delay, quantizing, or adding noise will defeat that tactic. So why try at all?
