Yes. Contrarian position: This thread would be better if we upvoted contrarian positions that are interesting or caused updates, not those that we disagree with.
Although you must be certain that incoherence is actually incoherence. Inferential distance means that an idea sufficiently distant from your own beliefs will seem incoherent. Otherwise I like this.

Upvote interestingness, downvote incoherence, ignore agreement and disagreement?

I think it might be better to have one where you upvote things you agree with, and just never downvote.
