It was an open opinion & you understood it well.
Others simply downvoted it.
I don't feel anything for downvotes, but opinionated things gets often misunderstood and the whole discussion stops there.
The Idea that someone brings a new conscious(new topic) open for discussion is also gone down by downvoting. The essence of further discussion is thus diluted, because of first few downvotes or no enough upvotes.
This is still a persistent problem in HN, if there is a downvote, there can be fair explanation too(as you did) or don't push it so down, so others might re-consider this topic to be validated.
Nice, these kind of open discussions is the way looking forward.
