I don't know. Objective wrongness ranks low on my list of reasons to downvote, which is usually because a post is off-topic or intended only to insult the parent. Consequently, I rarely use the downvote option.
If I think someone is wrong, I usually respond with an explanation, or wait for someone else to do the same.
