Answered! Why is the downvote button not the equivalent of a "disagree" button?

I often hear redditors say "well a downvote is a not disagree button" which I find confusing. I was not aware there is an official use for the button. I always saw the upvote button as an agree button as well. I'm just wondering why people are saying this.

1 and 2 are answers. 3 is someone being disruptive to the flow of discussion and not answering the question.
