I think you mis-read what I was saying-- I wouldn't let
a score alone alter my vote, but seeing that something I
considered off-topic or in need of a stern "RTFM" has a
higher score might hint that I missed something the first
time I read it. Upon re-reading, I may still vote as I
originally planned. But if I do change, it's the re-reading
that prompted the change. Seeing the score only gave me reason
to pause and reconsider, before moving on to the (often
numerous) other new nodes still waiting...

On the contrary, I think that posts that aren't clear enough be obvious that they are not a case of RTFM deserve the very occasional -- they will get.
But though I do think that it's a good thing that current score can have no influence on voting, what if you're unsure of the merits of a node and you're curious? I'd suggest an option to abstain whereby you could forfeit your right to vote on a node in order to find out its reputation.
