I would actually say that voting to correct post-quality would lead to some odd social dynamics. I'll vote up if something is negative for no reason, but otherwise I'll vote my opinion, not corrections - unless something seems really out of line.

I'd rather have the sum of people's individual components then see everyone trying to correct everyone else's voting.

Agreed - I've been using voting the same way:

if (score < 0 && myPreferredScore >=0)
vote up
else
vote my conscience

Edit: had to camelCase the name above due to odd behavior of underscores. I should learn MarkDown.
