Fair point, though I think it's a bit better there because an upvote 
usually expresses agreement with all the points in the post, while a 
downvote may be due to disagreement with any of possibly multiple points 
in the post.

And then there's also the possibility that a vote is based on some 
misunderstanding, which affects downvotes more than upvotes.
