RE: Although subjectively downvoting posts to zero is anathema to me, the Layer 1 ability to do so must remain (for now at least)
In the original system, your UPVOTE bar could be used up by UPVOTING (OR) by DOWNVOTING.
You could choose to DOWNVOTE but that would reduce your total available UPVOTE.
After HF21, a FREE DOWNVOTE bar was added, so you could DOWNVOTE with NO PENALTY.

I am familiar with the system even though it was no longer in use when I arrived.
I am not cluttering up this thread discussing what FREE means to different people. What you wrote was not even related to my text you quoted (which is hugely appreciated) so I am not really the right person to address it anyway.
If you need me to elaborate on my previous comment, tag me in a quiet corner of Hive and I can try.
