For #2, on mobile I'm constantly down-voting when I mean to up-vote, and vice-versa. (Before HN officially supported mobile, I sometimes ended up voting when I was just trying to zoom in!)
Taking a chance that people might not "think before voting" seems well worth it to remove a bunch of random noise generated by unintended clicks.
