I think voters could be confused over that where one truncates actually matters to the method. That is, the method isn't resolvable if everybody votes untruncated and there's a cycle; no single ballot can break the tie unless it also breaks the cycle. Further, if only some people truncate, that would give power to them.<br>

However, I think that it's entirely natural for such a voter to truncate C at least. Even if there's an unelectable D=Cthulu, most people's first instinct would be to truncate C=Sheriff of Nottingham.</div>
