Why is there not a penalty for down voting an answer on Quora?

It seems to me that very valid answers are often down voted based on bias rather than the quality or correctness of the answer given.

tynamite's avatar Because I shouldn't have to pay the price, for when I downvote an answer, because a person hasn't answered the question.

If it is anyone's fault for me downvoting, it's Quora's, for removing the Flag feature.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
