Well, scoring an own goal would be more equivalent with non-monotonicity 
- that horrendosu feeling when you'd have been better off not voting. In 
approval, by contrast, your big problem will be more akin to missing a 
penalty - bad, but not quite as bad... Of course, the same problem 
occurs in Condorcet if you lazy-truncate - but that's arguably more 
avoidable...
