Are you feeling lucky?

Well are you?

So, irrespective of the type of rep you give, why is the word "lucky" in the popup? Surely receiving rep is far more deterministic than the pure blind chance it suggests.

Perhaps when rep was blind and could be given anonymously, there was an element of chance.

This post made my day ;)

It is meant to be tongue-in-cheek. For example, if you give someone bad rep, may you be lucky enough to receive the same thing back.
