"Even though I think you're wrong, I'd like to hear more" strikes me as better expressed as a comment rather than a vote.

That way, you can explain what you want to hear more about.

Vote + comment is even better: you can sort by votes.

There are topics here on LW where I would prefer to read only threads with high "wrong but interesting" scores.

I'd much rather get a reply than a vote.
But presumably there's a reason for the current system rather than the arguably simpler method of not having up/down buttons.
