I upvote posts that either I find to be consistent with my appraisals of the subject in question (these are rare in terms of my total upvotes), posts that contain well-reasoned opinions contrary to mine, or (the bulk of my upvotes) posts that force me to consider aspects or perspectives I failed to consider previous to reading.

It is the posts that cause me to redefine my understanding of subjects that primarily receive my upvotes.
