I don’t think that type of comment should be downvoted except when the author can’t take a hint and continues posting the same false idea repeatedly. Downvoting false ideas won’t prevent well-intentioned people from making mistakes or failing to understand things, mostly it would just discourage them from posting at all to whatever extent they are bothered by the possibility of downvotes.
