So there are always people who show their slaughter charts, where they killed of about 95% of the themes. I made this little graphic to show why that's a bad thing.

To read the graphic a couple of things are important:

1. There are no objectively good themes that everyone's going to pick. Every themepick comes down to personal preference in the best case and chance in the worst case.

2. There are more theme-suggestions than voters. If we took the ideal case, which would mean anybody who picked suggestions also votes for all themes we'd still have three times the themes than voters.

In this overly simplified example I chose to show the voting process for 6 voters and 18 themes. So that would be the absolute ideal case.

See how the first variant fails to generate any meaningful data? Even putting the entire first set ontop of the second one would barely impact it, even though the same amount of people voted.

So - the conclusion I came to is, that if you vote to sparsely you'll just waste your time because your vote will impact the result extremly little if you can't generate enough overlap.

Because the slaughter-process is long and arduous certain random factors like fatigue will inevitable creep in - the stricter you vote the more impact those random factors will have.
