Not at all. I don’t think you are understanding what he is saying.
This topic has 6 yes votes and 79 views.
This means it has 6 YES votes and 73 NO votes.
If you view the topic but don’t vote YES then it’s automatically counted as if it you voted NO (not really but that’s how it’s tallied up).
Basically you viewed it but didn’t agree enough to vote yes, so it’s a no.
Oh boy here we go again, another dead end topic filled to the brim with bitter rivalries. 
Indeed the topic derailed.
I moved all that stuff in here to the “proper” place.
one thing i just noticed, the views update every time someone refreshes the page adding a view counter each time. by this logic one can just refresh the page 150times and make it look like a ton of downvotes. using views as a vote of no is not a good idea for accuracy
