2 sources" it’s a score that a never-explained set of network services calculate by directly polling the minds of the people who know about you and your works, reducing their private views to a number.

This is specially what the respect matrix works against; people who one starred someone else for spurious reasons end up dinging _themselves_ if they are at all connected, which the social graph says we all are. You'll lower your soundness score if you give someone else a shitty rating, and yet you have an implied positive rating through other links.
