Most thoughtful comments that get downvoted soon get voted back up by other users. That's one reason why it's against the HN guidelines to comment about downvoting. At least half the time your comment is soon obsolete.

Instead of posting comments like this, please just upvote and trust your fellow users. If you (or anyone) think a comment has been treated particularly unfairly, you're welcome to email us at hn@ycombinator.com.
