There is inherent humour in being unable to test the comparative efficacy
of a technological whizbang due to the lack of sufficiently standardised
technological whizbangs ;p.

And even then that'd give dubious results. Some talk page get archived
barnstars et. al., some people (like I do with User:Coren) move them off
to a discrete subpage in their userspace, and some people simply remove
old sections from their talk pages (which would make the template not
show as a transclusion at all).
Add to this the complexity that several barnstars are subst:ed rather
than transcluded -- but not all -- and you end up with a completely
intractable problem.
