No, it doesn't. It should reduce the chances of this happening again, though.
As for this vote, it's easy to say that it started off on the wrong foot. That allowed voters of... (sigh) how do i put this... "questionable ability" to influence the process. That said, I'm not willing to undermine the entire process by rejecting the vote.
'But some voters undermined the process with their reasoning!'
So? It's partly our fault for allowing it to happen in the first place.
We are learning from our mistakes, however, and this mistake should be corrected in Stage 3 with a properly-conducted test. I'm ready to just bite the bullet on this one and move on. As cheesy as it may be, I believe that the saying "two wrongs don't make a right" does apply in this case. It doesn't feel right to me to invalidate this vote.
