That's just a constant offset, it matters more whether the next karma level is 2 or 10. When fitting trend lines a "linear fit" would normally satisfy y=mx+c, without limiting yourself to c=0. Note that the posted linear fit has c = -1... apparently everyone starts with -1 karma. Lies, damned lies and statistics I say!
