A lot of things people talk about are not at all about “their worldview” in the sense of beliefs and values, this characterization is often enough noncentral. I’m arguing use of words in this comment, is that an element of my worldview? Perhaps I value accurate use of words, and can’t find a suitable counterexample.
Some hypotheses are not beliefs (they are beliefs-in-development that aren’t yet ready for making predictions), and many constructions are not even hypotheses in this sense (they are not about the real world). I don’t believe there is a unifying concept behind the things people talk about, different concepts are salient for different statements.
I don’t think that contradicts my original statement strongly. The statement is itself a hypothesis, but I wrote it down because I find it likely that it describes behavior. However, I don’t have a strong degree of confidence about it.
Some comments may not be in the worldview / belief category, and in this case it may be the case that the people I hypothesized about may just neither upvote nor downvote. It is also possible that in this case voting on posts or comments may be motivated by different things.

I don’t think it contradicts it at all, it’s unrelated to your original statement, only to the use of a word in it that can be steelmanned away in the obvious manner.

Maybe worldview is a word that comes along with too many associations? What about “prior belief”?
