Sure.

There was a guy putting forward random accusations towards Amazon. That guy is generally disliked by, and his story is being questioned by, "the regulars". Yet, he managed to get almost 500,000 karma with just 3 posts.

It (probably) took me somewhere around 200 posts to even get to a karma of 100,000, and I at least hope that those posts were much more insightful and useful than the 3 posts of that guy.

Which is why I'm saying: karma is not a good measurement for "usefulness" - or for anything at all, in fact.
