I agree with you, but I think it has to do with the way people vote (mainly voting in favor of things they agree with and against things they disagree with), and with which comments are read by whom. In other words, changing the karma system probably is not a way to address it: people have to change their behavior.
Yes, I agree, and by "karma system" I meant to include how people think they should vote.
It seems a little inconsistent to expect people to vote up things for being correct but not to vote up things simply because they agree with them. I tend to agree with things I think are correct and disagree with things I think are incorrect.
I think Wei Dai was saying that people should vote up strong arguments, even if they disagree with the conclusion. I do this sometimes, and I think it's a good thing to do.
