well it was not so much arguaing for any partical one i was just expecting a few short words
for each that was eliminated. X was eliminated becasue it might conflict with Y.

also again in termes of risk i would have assumed there was so metric by whic they were operating
and they would continue donw that list until that metric was satisfied but not evaulate any options
lower on the ranking unless the previous ones failed to meet the "safe" treshold.

so i just ecpecting too see some kind of indication of what disqulifed the items that had more votes.
