I agree with this. Having had the experience of being dowmvoted when asking an honest question in a comment, and receiving a downvote instead, makes me a bit apprenhensive to ask questions at all. If someone doesn't agree with something and wants to display their authority status of "I do not agree," a response would be better. Plus, I have heard of people downvoting by accident. Perhaps a compromise solution would be a downvote could happen if the downvoter actually made a comment, at which point, subjecting that response to being able to be downvoted as well, if necessary.
