      At a wild guess, that you may upvote a comment that you support – but there’s a second part that you wouldn’t agree with. Or that people should split up their comments so that people can upvote/downvote individual parts?

      I think OP is referring to comment where multiple talking points are made, but you can’t selectively apply your upvote/downvote to specific parts of the comment. You either upvote it all, or downvote it all.

      So if I start talking about how pineapple is ok on a pizza, a downvote for this take also means you downvote how I’m trying to clarify OP’s message.

      I hope I made it clearer by editing the post. Let me know if it’s still not clear :)
