The idea isn't simply that you should trust what's said by those with a high rep, the idea is that a rep system might encourage people to make useful posts in the first place.

Not really. If you have a low number of posts Rep will likely be low whicher system is used. If you post frequently and receive little or no Rep, that will also tell a story.So with no stars you automatically a numpty ?
Graphics card wars have been going on since the earliest newsgroup days, and sound card wars.. sheesh Gravis Ultrasound vs Soundblaster.. that was worse than this.
Hardly anyone here actually knows what is going on, they are just regurgitating stuff they have read somewhere else. Once you realise that then you learn to make your own mind up and be responsible for your decisions.

Won't tell anything really imo. Some people like me often post to keep the flow of the forum or thread moving so to speak. I have over 2k posts, which isn't that little, but I doubt anyone knows who I am, and I'm sure it applies for lots of other people as well. Not everyone makes 'big punchy' posts that are popular, and/or are a forum 'personality', who will inevitably get more rep.
You can see that on the Steam forums. I have over 1000 posts, but only 22 rep. Not because I say anything unpopular or am nasty, its just because I don't say anything either funny or find out anything before anyone else.
