You are talking so much about rockets that I can’t even tell what point you’re trying to make about universities. The post would probably be a lot clearer without this analogy.
I think I’m mostly following now, but when you write stuff like:
In the higher education system, I expect it would take the form of increasing the swathe of universities which taught a complete curriculum, as well as evening out the distribution of staff.
I wonder, is the undergraduate curriculum really significantly different between top-tier universities and others? Instead of wasting space on the rocket analogy, it would be useful to establish that sort of thing about the actual subject. And generally, the posts is really missing a lot of detail about universities, and has way too much details about rockets.

My position with respect to downvoting, or upvoting for that matter, would be only to downvote a post well below 0 if I was confident that I could explain why it was harmful and/or illogical.
I’m not sure whether it’s a good idea or not to take into account the current score before voting. But regardless, there’s no way to enforce that 100% of people will follow any particular voting policy, so you’re going to end up with posts below 0 sometimes, even if they aren’t harmful.
