We want to allow "mediocre" people (some of which have an unrealized potential to be excellent) that want to learn from excellent people (I hope you agree).

I have no problem with that, my problem is with the opposite - people learning from mediocre (or worse) folk, because they don't realize that their content is flawed (which downvotes signal).

IMO on the Light side you learn from something when you can tell it's correct, not when someone tells you it's correct, much less when someone anonymous tells you it's correct.
