An alternate version of this whole thing might just be to basically have an “epistemic upvote/downvote” which is separate from the overall score. I found myself having some posts where I wanted to be:
“Okay, this post wasn’t actually that important, but I was pretty impressed with it’s rigor and/or thoughtfulness”,
and other posts where I wanted to be like:
“This post was quite important but also makes some iffy claims.”
