Nov 29, 2016 at 5:44 comment added Violapterin (a link sent me here.) I agree with you, since I just deleted my own wrong answer (in Math), and wonder why reputation (rep) came back. This way, people may venture to post answer they themselves are not sure, and if wrong, just delete. Why so? The penalty (-2 each downvote) is already lighter than incentive (+5 each upvote), and people in general gain increasing rep easily. One should not care so much about rep, as if it were money...! It is just a measure to maintain the quality of SE. One should be responsible to his /her mistakes by permanently losing a tiny (-2) rep.
