Question About Voting: I'm sure it's been asked before

So I've had a few stories voted pretty popular at this point. I'm not complaining, or greedy for more fame or anything (okay, maybe just a little if a gal's gotta be honest) but I am curious about how our system works here. I have stories with very few votes or views that are listed as being much more popular than stories which have *more* views *more* votes and a score that is only less then .01 or .02. Is it supposed to work that way? It just seems sort of odd that a story with 1 vote, 1 view and has a 5 is considered more popular than a 4.9 with a thousand views and votes. Just saying...

When you click on the most popular tab, those stories are ranked via the most logical method, the highest average score. To make sure a story doesn't rank at the top with just one "5" vote, we put in the rider that the story has to have over a certain number of votes before it is included in the calculations.

Does that make sense?

I don't see the volume of votes being a more important factor in the weighting. If a story has 60 votes and averages 4.7, and another has 30 votes and averages 4.8, then of course the second one should be listed higher.
