This was the problem where if you had 4 options and only voted for AC
then in fact your vote really meant nothing unless it came down to only
A and C?

Why not fix the system so that it makes more sense for humans?
AC means first A then C then B and D equally last. It's what the vast
majority of people would expect. A vote of C means a vote for C only,
with ABD last.

All it takes is to have a rule that states that any unmentioned options
imply all of those options have been put equally last. Having the same
way as last time is just plain confusing and does not give any
advantages. It's a great way of disenfranchising SPI members.
