I didn't downvote, but it's worth keeping in mind that a downvote doesn't necessarily convey substantive disagreement with the point you're making. There are a number of other (appropriate) reasons for downvoting a post in Main.

It'd be really great if PhilGoetz and some other commenters in this thread understood this. So you've proven a mathematical statement -- why should that net one karma?

The continued downvote whining, as if their existence represented a substantial failing of "LessWrong as a whole" is really beginning to grate on my nerves.
