If an answer is marked best for a question, why are the links marked nofollow?

It seems to me that the links in a question's best answer deserve some search engine loving, because those are likely pages that are relevant (and deemed worthy) to the question.
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

This is something that we will consider for the future. We have discussed the issue in house previously and are open to the idea.

This is the website criteria to make links nofollow rather it is best or not.

I recognize that the links are nofollow - the point of the question is should they be? I would argue that if the best answers earn the privilege of receiving outbound search engine traffic, it would encourage content providers to produce better content and better answers.
