Is the Populist badge broken? Or have I misunderstood?

I think there is a flaw in the badge system at StackOverflow.

Recently I saw here that my answer outscored that accepted answer with 10 votes by >2x but I didn't receive the Populist badge. Is the badge system too slow or am I missing some rule?

The accepted answer has to get 11 votes (and your answer get >2x that, so at least 23 votes) for you to win the populist badge. This doesn't quite match the description text (see this question for a bug report about that), which could more accurately read:

Provided highest scoring answer that outscored an accepted answer with more than 10 votes by more than 2x.
