If it is known that visibility is tied to "good/bad argument" rather than "agree/disagree", I'd expect most people to start using the 'argument' buttons for signaling their 'agreement'.

it's tied to both.

to gain visibilty, need to vote "good argument, but i disagree" or "bad argument, but i agree with the conclusion"

a naked 'good argument' or 'i agree vote' costs a small amount of karma.

a 'i agree, good argument', costs a large amount of karma, because those votes should be rare.
