I'd feel uneasy agreeing with your motives. It'd be a mess if not only a lot of people left purely opiniative (?) comments because they don't have time to elaborate but this was also generally deemed good behavior. If you were about to post insightful commentary later couldn't it wait (in fact it did wait since your in-the-meantime comment was clearly no substitute)? Especially since others have expressed what you would have. "...also, in the same vein one can ask what your comment accomplishes that a downmod would't have? :)" I find it surprising that you'd ask that just after clarifying your motives. Would you have posted that answer if I had just downmodded you?...
