in thread Encouraging comments for downvotes

You are overstating the case. Those who ++ could well have something to add or correct, but they don't. Those who -- might have nothing but their (perhaps incorrect) perception of the node, or they might be voting randomly, or they might be voting for reasons that have nothing to do with the node.

Any of these jackasses care to comment?

    I am giving the general case. There's no productive purpose in discussing the pathological cases.

    This makes no sense. Of course they have nothing but their perception of it. How could they have more than they perceive? And why would that preclude them from sharing their perception?
