The question What determines if the handle of a pan gets hot while in use?, seems to have picked up a lot of anonymous negative feedback, completely out of proportion to the actual score.

For those unfamiliar with the feature, unregistered and low-rep users can leave anonymous feedback, which doesn't count as a vote, but is visible as summary statistics to members with > 10k reputation (and moderators, obviously). Typically, anonymous feedback only really starts to collect on posts once they're more than 6 months old.

Without quoting actual numbers - suffice it to say that it's very rare to see such a large discrepancy between votes and anon feedback.

I can't see anything obviously wrong with the question. Does anyone else have any ideas as to why anonymous users (e.g. Google hits) are finding this page unhelpful?

If so, what can we do to improve it?
