Perhaps an additional feature to explicitly mark your post as "rebuttal"? Then only the non-rebuttals would inherit the downvote?

  And why would users not simply mark all of their posts as rebuttals? There'd be no downside.

    Because rebutting something that was subsequently upvoted would incur a downvote!
