Well, let's say you should not propose or second an option you don't plan to
rank above "further discussion"... Maybe you'll rank it lower than another
option, but that's what the condorcet voting system allows us to (provide order
of preference among acceptable options). An option that is not "your favorite"
might still be "very good" for you as an outcome... :)

Thanks,
