It occurs to me that a reasonable strategy for some fraction of LessWrongers may be to downvote immediately and remove that downvote later, under some circumstances. Immediate feedback teaches the lesson, and subsequent change removes the undue harshness.

Following this logic, I have removed my downvote.

lol I think people already do that on top-level posts. Very few of the ones that get downvoted a lot the first day don't return to positive after some time.

Yes, and now I can see the justification for it.
