Jul 31, 2014 at 8:20 comment added eldo @m_goldberg I'm relatively new to Mathematica and SE. Hopefully, with growing experience, also objectivity will go up. Your second comment ("high rep members...") makes a very good point.
Jul 31, 2014 at 1:08 comment added m_goldberg Also, consider this: if the very high rep members of the community adhered to your policy, they would almost never up-vote an answer. I have good reason to believe, however, that they up vote many answers for which they personally learn nothing new.
Jul 31, 2014 at 1:07 comment added m_goldberg It seems you are saying that you do not up vote a question that has tutorial value for others but not you personally. I think such a policy is short-sighted because I strongly believe, when we are reading an answer, we should consider how it might have tutorial value for any Mathematica users, no matter what their skill level is. Up voting such answers will encourage more of them and help to build the library of good answers that Mathematica users can consult in the future. Building up that library is an important goal we should always have in mind.
