Certainly. What I'm saying is that our voting system should not
discourage people from expressing this in their votes. The implied
promise of preference voting systems is that later preferences never
count against earlier ones, but in fact with the current system as
amended a ballot A:B:FD count against A in A-vs-B due to the the
ranking of B above FD.
