You need to understand these are not only technical answers to technical questions, but also highly valuable ones because people must indicate that they "like" the answer.

Most even good answers get very little rep so the answers have to be pretty good to get that amount of rep on average.

I wonder how much rep, has to do with who decides to up vote? If you see Jon Skeet answer, people will up vote him more than the average user with 5k. This is a subjective opinion of course.
