Assuming your true preference is (A->B->D->C) ([1243]) where D is the
default option and A, B, and C require a 3:1 majority over the default
option and the following situation:

       [ABCD]
       [1332]: 0
       [3132]: 299
       [2221]: 100

you are better off voting your true preference [1243] than [1332].
