And you are throwing out relevant details whenever you punish people for responding to downvoted comments.

I don't understand this point. Not punishing people in those cases would use the same information, so the amount of available information doesn't characterize any given choice of the effect.

Individual downvotes for bad posts are sensitive to details about those posts. Blanket downvotes for replies to negative posts are not.

(Edited the grandparent. My point is that lack of blanket downvotes for replies to negative posts is equally insensitive to details about those posts. This consideration doesn't help with the question of punish vs. not-punish.)
