There may be strategic reasons not to rank all the candidates. This is particularly
so if you want to dissuade other voters from attempting to DH3 you.

In many rank methods it is the case that by ranking an additional candidate, you
can cause this candidate to be elected instead of a candidate you prefer to
this candidate.

In MMPO this never happens. But there is *still* truncation incentive, in the
sense that you still want to discourage other voters from using DH3 strategy.
