It would make for an interesting network to analyze, though. Because you could essentially decrease the weight of successive "similar" votes [eg if two people who are fans of the same celebrities vote, their votes could be discounted slightly].
In this way, Quora could try to use a sophisticated voting system to suss out the best answer.

I think Stack Exchange does this best with the ability to edit answers, but at the very least people who disagree should be able to state their case without being pushed to the bottom of the thread.
