Thanks—edited to try to clarify that the +2/+6 were example values. I believe you are correct that the ratio is not the same; the most recent chart I have seen is here which suggests that the ratio can be up to 5:1.
I could see an argument for a scaled loss of karma for strongvotes depending on how many points one’s strongvotes were worth. I would view this as a transfer of karma, at least where strongupvotes are concerned, rather than a “fine.” I pulled the −1 suggestion from Stack Overflow, where all downvotes incur −1 to reputation.
