As a total newbie to this site, I applaud this sentiment, but have just gone through an experience where this has not, in fact, happened.
After immediately retracting my erroneous statement (and explaining exactly where and why I'd gone wrong), I continued to be hammered over arguments that I had not actually made. My retracted statements (which I've left in place, along with the edits explaining why they're wrong) stay just as down-voted as before...
My guess is that some of the older members of this site may realise that this is how it's supposed to work... but it's certainly not got through to us newbies yet ;)
Perhaps it should be added to the etiquette section in the newbie pages (eg the karma-section in the FAQ) ?
I hereby suggest once again that "Vote up" and "Vote down" be changed to "More like this" and "Less like this" in the interface.
OTOH, there's the reasonable counterargument that anyone who needs to be told this won't change their behaviour because of it - i.e., rules against cluelessness don't have anything to work via.
