He’s asked a lot of questions. His various LW posts are sitting, right now, at scores of +4, +4, +2, +11, +9, +10, +4, +1, +7, −2. This one’s slightly negative; none of the others are. It’s not the case that this one got treated more harshly because it suggested that something fundamental to LW might be wrong; the same is true of others, including the one that’s on +11.
This question (as well as some upvotes and slightly more downvotes) received two reasonably detailed answers, and a couple of comments (one of them giving good reason to doubt the premise of the question), all of them polite and respectful.
Unless your position is that nothing should ever be downvoted, I’m not sure what here qualifies as being “shot”.
(I haven’t downvoted this question nor any of Haziq’s others; but my guess is that this one was downvoted because it’s only a question worth asking if Halpern’s counterexample to Cox’s theorem is a serious problem, which johnswentworth already gave very good reasons for thinking it isn’t in response to one of Haziq’s other questions; so readers may reasonably wonder whether he’s actually paying any attention to the answers his questions get. Haziq did engage with johnswentworth in that other question—but from this question you’d never guess that any of that had happened.)
