Vote tally display intermittent

My node Last best chance to rename "Perl6" which pointed out a blog post elsewhere, predictably garnered a number of downvotes. For most of yesterday and today the reputation of the node has been displayed to me as '10' with 'no significant downvotes.' Yesterday once in the evening I saw it showing (16+, 6-). Is "significant downvotes" variable? Is six downvotes sometimes or always considered insignificant? Is this intermittent behavior a bug?

Thanks!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

The background is explained at Display of Node Reputation. It doesn't give the precise formula, though. ($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-\|\|-\|5+lengthSq)`"S\|oS2"`map{chr \|+ord }map{substrSq`S_+\|`\|}3E\|-\|`7**2-3:)=~y+S\|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a, [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Yes I'm familiar with that, but it appears that the behavior varies, when the numbers are unchanged. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

Why do you think the numbers are unchanged? It could have been 14-4 or 15-5 before ... So long Rata	[reply]
