disagree  Daryo: besides not being what is in the ST, it's total nonsense: there might be some geometries where "parallels" keep getting closer or intersect, but I never heard of any alternative algebra where there are many possible sums of the same elements !!!

neutral  B D Finch: The "least scores" are not necessarily worse, just lowest. They might even be "better".

Explanation:
"Least scores" in statistics are simply the lowest numbers. Similarly "most [greatest] scores" are the highest numbers. This does not necessarily mean that the least scores are worse, or that the most scores are better. If you have a number of sets of figures (perhaps from iterative measurements) then each set will have least scores and most scores. The least scores for all the sets can then be totalled, as can the most scores for all the sets.

However, this is making an assumption about the data and it is possible that, as this is a website, the least scores might actually be the lowest number of hits.

  -> Literally, yes, but that isn't necessarily how an English-speaking statistician would express it.
