Depends on the specific controversy, I guess.
To give a better answer, we could let an algorithm choose, say, 100 random comments with negative karma, and then make a poll and let users rate these comments as "healthy controversy" or "harmful".
My guess is that I would rate 70-80% of them as a waste of time.
