if the goal is to outlaw
I was thinking about this point in relation to what @Scoresby said on another branch of this discussion:
In the case of downzaps versus boosts, it seems that erring on the side of allowing visibility is better than erring the other way.
Do downzaps have any effect on non-top-boost posts before they trigger the outlaw threshold? I.e. lower ranking on hot on the list view or comments?

Yes, they downrank content until cum_zap_weight - cum_downzap_weight is sufficiently negative.

Alright. To me, this means not so much that the downzap function itself is the cause of any the visibility issue when it comes to boosts, but more that the boosts are an all-or-nothing concept in terms of viz, that can only be countered by bidding war or - since today - be outlawed.
I'll have to think about this a bit more but that's where I'm at.
