If someone ranked "further discussion" above all other options, I'd
agree that that was probably an insincere vote.
However, I an easily understand someone thinking, "if this option doesn't
get choosen, I want to talk about why".
What I have trouble understanding is why you might classify that sort of
approach as insincere. It's not as if we have some shortage of people
wanting to talk about things on our lists. Nor is it the case that
there wouldn't be anything new to talk about.
