I think I'd agree with this if the like and zap buttons were not next to each other. For me though the fact that the zap button and the like button are directly next to each other means every like must be seen in context of the fact that it's not a zap.
Because of that placement, dropping a like is basically saying 'not worth a zap'. Because if it was worth a zap you'd have hit the zap button 1cm to the left. It's not like saying "I might zap later", or "I haven't considered zapping yet". So it's assigning a 1 Sat value in a way, it's just that the1 Sat is implicit.
I do get though that it's stress trying to work out the amount of a normal zap, cause you have to worry about setting precedents, under or over valuing, etc. More needs to be done to standardise zap values to bring down that kind of stress.
