You'll be downvoted because that is obvious, irrelevant and has no practical consequences.

If I had to guess, most downvotes GP got were for "predicting" downvotes.

I've found that sometimes, "predicting" downvotes fails, and the comment is upvoted, it seems to correlate more to whether people agree with the sentiment of the rest of the comment, but I agree that the prediction could influence the outcome.
