To me, downvotes apply only to poor quality posts. if you have an "OK" and "better" situation, nothing should get downvoted, they are just two competing answers. The better answer would be expected to garner more upvotes. | |

But more generally, if there are two duplicate answers, one lower quality than the other, simply downvote the other answer. Do you mean to down-vote the lower quality (technical) than the other or the newer one? If you mean to downvote the lower quality one, then I completely agree with you.
