My friend, I don’t know why you decided to necro this thread, but:

• I am not using this data point to make a case that I’m holding some majority opinion. I know it’s not, but at the same time it’s not just because it’s the minority opinion that it is somehow invalid.
• The point is that “downvotes as disagreement” is not some type of “unwritten law” that is universally accepted.
• Three people out of the whole group that got involved in the discussion is relevant.
