I am sorry! :D
If you look at the top 10, you will see a very mixed bag of results, the top 2 in particular:

To save you some heartache, I actually see use case for reputation as a social indicator that does indicate some consistency, plus, it might warrant further investigation. For the most part though, it will of course favor people who post, not comment. I do vote comments so there is a factor there on my posts, but again, it will require consistency.
On a separate note, I personally value my own reputation as I know exactly the effort it took to get it and exactly how I have done it. I consider under self-evaluation that to get here, I have performed pretty well and in a way that I have considered value adding as often as possible. So, there is value for me in it.
I think that like the decentralized blacklists, it will be possible for interfaces to apply their own metrics/ evaluations in regard to reputations as well as other metrics. I really hope they do, as like you, there are many people who like to aim for numbers and hit milestones - in my opinion, it is a huge part of the gamification model we could apply without so much focus on stake. I would like to see "statistic dashboards" where users can choose what factors interest them to run the calculations, potentially, these could be integrated by user choice into their blog interface to have some personalization effect using the metrics to which they are most attached or proud of. There are many ways to play on Hive, we should be rewarding users on the platform in more ways than just tokens.
I like your "Statistic Dashboards" idea. In fact, this response is so good I think I'll share that too. Thanks.
You are welcome :)
