Discredit you? Why would I bother to do that? Silly Rol, you do a great job of that all on your own!
I've made over 2300 forum posts across hundreds of threads. Apparently you've found 7 of them across 2-3 threads to be "unreasonable" filed them away in your little text document, and this in your mind means I don't have any right to claim I've been "perfectly reasonable" on this site? Of course, it should go without saying - but since this is you we're talking about, these posts are only unreasonable in your opinion! Unfortunately for you, your opinion isn't actually an objective fact, despite your persistent attitude that it should be treated as such (like the notion that showing off your adorable little text file "proves me wrong"). I won't go into whether or not those posts hold reasonable views, because that would be incredibly off topic, and derailing to the tread.
So, let's just say that you've done a tremendous job of displaying exactly the kind of behavior that a like system invites.

Wait - woah... ...how does a spat with Rol, have anything to do with this functionality??
Remember - there is NO "dislike", if there were then I could see a potential problem here. But, since there isn't, in what way would the "likes" act as a detriment here???

It doesn't. That's why I've shown a hesitance to talk about it.
On topic - As Rol plainly stated, if someone were to view a thread with two people arguing two sides of an issue, and one side has a bunch of likes and the other has a few or none, the one with fewer likes should be viewed as "discredited" or "unreasonable" in comparison with the side that is liked by many users. This is a clearly narrative he will use going forward on this site.
