Take a look at the partial results of [this query](http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/questions/2544008/timeline?type=jsontext&pagesize=100): { "timeline_type": "votes", "post_id": 2544061, "creation_date": 1269993600, "owner": { // omitted for brevity }, "action": "7 upvotes" }, I'm sure the answer pointed out by this record never had 7 upvotes and there are no similar records for other answers. So what does "action": "7 upvotes" mean?
