You mean what if the proposed thumbs up/down is not used by all, as with the current points system? I don't have an answer for that.

I'm thinking it would be sort of like the rating-of-the-rating system amazon.com has, where someone posts a review and others vote up/down if they think the review is helpful. The only difference here is, there is no anonymous access to this site. (Joe Bob being the notable exception, of course < g >)
