I’ve never before actually seen anyone argue that downvotes should be used for stuff that’s incorrect, especially when it’s not touted as being correct in the first place. Downvotes are for “the thread would be a better place without this”.
Either way, the OP here isn’t even stating anything as fact, but openly speculating. If just can’t fathom why anyone would downvote someone for being open about their ignorance and freely speculating/hypothesizing over an answer. The only thing that does is contribute to the discussion by adding a new facet/idea people can respond to.
