How is it toxic? It seems pretty logical to me. If the answer is wrong in its current form then the answer's score should decay relative to others. It doesn't matter if individual users lose upvote points, a user's points are meaningless in aggregate, but on an individual answer they function as a signal for proximity to correctness. If the points are important to you then the burden should be on you to maintain the correctness, we should not enshrine wrong answers in perpetuity in order to appease individual upvote counts.
