I agree with the sentiment here, but I think you have too little faith in some people’s willingness to be disagreeable… especially on LessWrong! Personally I’d feel fine/great about having a high karma and a low net-agreement score, because it means I’m adding a unique perspective to the community that people value.
… and, I’d go so far as to bet that the large number of agreement with your comment here is representative of a bunch of users that would feel similarly, but I’m putting this in a separate comment so accrues a separate agree/disagree score. If lots of people disagree, I’ll update :)
Agreement votes must never be aggregated, otherwise there is incentive for uncontroversial commenting.

Absolutely! Agree 100%.
