It seems as you're trying to vindicate option 4 by discrediting me by
discrediting option 1. Basically:
- Robert doesn't like option 4
- Robert voted for option 1
- Option 4 ranked above option 1
Therefore:
- The project is endorsing option 4!!
This doesn't make any sense. To begin with, my opinion is only a ridiculously
small part of the vote results.
