E.g., it could be that 500 people who chose consecutive “old school” as their favorite also chose “date-based” as their favorite, which means those votes for “old school” shouldn’t be counted as overall favorite. However, that wouldn’t necessarily means that “Ubuntu style” would be the overall favorite: perhaps those 500 people chose other “date-based” styles as their favorite.

(Actually, there is probably no statistical difference between which method is preferred, though without error estimates that’s hard to tell).
