    So there’s a lot of text under the criticism section, And I’m sure my argument against it is nothing new, but wouldn’t the operation and monitoring of the door take some energy? Even in a “friction less spherical cow” perfect world, removing the cost of operating the door seems to be a bit of a stretch.

    What are the arguments for it really?










  • In addition to what others said, in comments the down vote is meant to be used on comments that don’t further discussion in good faith.

    I used to subscribe to that idea, but I’ve since changed my mind. If the far majority use upvotes to mean agreement, then me upvoting a controversial, but well structured, opinion will likely be viewed as agreement as well.

    It’s a nice idea to think the voting system is meant to promote discussion, instead of homogenise opinions in a community.
