Sure, that's a possibility, I suppose. Even with that in consideration, it seems to be more of a popularity contest; people who toe the political line, partake in the corny internet "humor" and generally kiss the asses of the perceived "powers that be" tend to get flooded with rep points.
It is, however, a generally meaningless system. If we can't even answer what the function of having a reputation score is, we won't care about what each reputation score "means."
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
