Mod note: I’ve enabled agree-disagree voting on this thread. This is still in the experimental phase, see the first time we did so here. Still very interested in feedback.
For experimentation purposes, I think the agree-disagree voting should probably be enabled right after the post is published. Otherwise you get noisy data: some of the upvotes/​downvotes will just reflect the fact that the option wasn’t enabled back when those votes were cast.

I agree. I was on vacation being American yesterday so I didn’t notice it when it was published.
I agree that would be a cleaner experiment, but I’m still finding it interesting (if a little jarring because I’m used to downvotes being bad!)
Maybe people who want to contribute to the experiment can coordinate their posts with JP? (e.g. via sending a PM?)
