My thought was that most people who do make the distinction between "I personally disagree" and "you don't provide a proper argument" are also the people who are unlikely to vote down simply because they disagree. I could be wrong.

I think it depend on the context. There are cases on LW when voting down because you disagree makes sense and others where it doesn't.
