Downvotes here on HN often don't make sense. You can be exactly 100% correct about something and still get downvoted to hell.
The best thing to do is to simply ignore them as asking about downvotes just invites more of them.

But it is telling that there have been at least 5 downvotes but no one is willing to comment as to why. Edit: since I see you have a downvote (surprise, surprise) I'll clarify that it wasn't me.
