I can see this now, too. Worsening someone's score could happen
to make a preferred candidate into the winner. That is surely why
random filling always makes more sense than truncation.
I reply:
Not always. If there's a danger or likelihooid of offensive order-reversal,
and you want to deter it, then leave out of your ranking the candidate(s)
whose voters are considering offensive order-reversal. Announce before the
election that you are doing so and that you ask others to do so.
