People do often get polarized and vote by agreement vs. quality.

It has crossed my mind a few times that the "Score:" part of a post should be split into
"Agree:" and "Quality:" (or suitable names).

They will not honor this. If for example if an article is anti-apple the Apple fans they will vote "no" and 1/10. This will be the case for 90% of the time. Humans are like that...

Maybe. But I was thinking about comments rather than articles though.
