I have to disagree with those final numbers. In nearly every game I play, people are saying "honor me" and often follow with "I'll honor everyone here" and attempt to trade honor. I would say literally 90% of the games I play are like this. I never participated in this, yet my honor was reset to 0.
I had better hopes for the honor system but I never traded nor asked for honor nor spammed honor to/from anybody and yet I got reset.
It seems to me the honor system is pointless if it will just get reset randomly when you don't even do anything wrong.
I was paying attention to how much honor I had, but now I don't even bother to look, it will probably just reset again without any explanation as to why.
