One particularly useful thing I think this idea points in the direction of (though I think Duncan would say that this is not enough and does nothing to fix his central problem with the new system) is that the ability to default-hide each axis separately would be a good user-facing option. If a user believes they would be badly influenced by seeing the aggregated approval and/or agreement numbers, they can effectively “spoiler” themselves from the aggregate opinion and either never reveal it or only reveal it after being satisfied with their own thought processes.
