If an item has upzaps, downzaps are subtracted from the upzaps - it's a tug of war, a war of trust and sats. So that's one possible explanation - other people upzapped it. Another is that when you downzapped before, other people had already downzapped it.

is there a difference if I downzap something with 100 sats at once, or if I downzap it twice with 50?
No difference. It works just like upzaps. We consider the entire zap amount as a whole and even end up using some basic algebra to do this.
that is why I started to wonder whether the unpaywall comment does not count towards the the upvote of those specific posts
Outlawing does not consider comments. Only upzaps and downzaps.

It could be a bug.
If it's not a bug, other reasons: If those 20 sats came from someone whom everyone trusts 2-3x more than you, it'd cost you >10k sats to outlaw it on your own. If the difference is even higher, it'd cost you >100k.
Also you're all gaining or losing trust everyday depending on what you're upzapping and downzapping. If you had an easier time outlawing before, it might be that you lost some trust.

I find what I perceive to be maybe potential anomalies, I speak up :)
I do genuinely appreciate the case study!
This is all ripe for overhaul once we have personalized feeds. It's certainly more opaque than it should be.
