You are right about a single vote, but the way these things usually
work is that out of 1000 votes the non-informative ones average out
("wow! awsome package!" vs "this sucks bad!") and the net vote result
is generally indicative of the actual thing that was voted on
especially when there is no direct financial incentive to cheat.
