EDIT: Downvoting this post sort of confirms my point that it's all about signaling tribal affiliations.

If people downvoting you is evidence that you are right then would people upvoting you have been evidence that you were wrong? Or does this kind of 'confirmation' not get conserved the way that evidence does?
