Ask HN: Why does HN lower the contrast of downvoted comments?

This makes it really hard to read the said comment, and makes me have an urge to skip the eye-straining comments. A simple downvote count or a red circle that gets more opaque can convey the same information, without making the comments hard to read. PS: The top level posts in Tell HN and Ask HN have lower contrasts, too. Why's that? PPS: HN should really have a way to enlarge the site with wrapping. Not everyone's eyes are 20/20, and not everyone is using big screens.
