It is very much on-topic. The spoiler effect is a problem because it
can shift results from a true majority result to one actually opposed
by a majority of voters. And this is the case with both versions of
the spoiler effect, and it is why the spoiler effect is consider a
harm. Eliminating one kind of spoiler effect, while leaving in place
another which is actually more pernicious, as seen in Burlington, is foolish.
