There's about a 70% chance I would have voted in 8 hours time (I've voted every previous time), but I still haven't done any proper analysis, so the group decision may be better without me!

7-3 isn't that slim? I guess it's unlikely we would have had 4 more voters all coming in on the other side.

Sorry I cut you off 99of9. 
7-3 isn't that slim, but if two more folks had voted for option #3 ahead of the actual top two, then it could have won outright (unless it was passed by #4 in the mean time). What's more, if two more ballots had come in with relative preferences
#3, #2, #1
and
#2, #3, #1
it would have created a circular preference, which could have come out any which way among the top three. (I don't fully grasp the tiebreak method.) If you thought the horse charge was terrible, and you were going to put it at the bottom of your ballot, then only one voter in addition to you could have altered the outcome. Only if you tell me that you would have put #3 somewhere below #1 on your ballot will I be able to sleep at night.
