I fully agree with you @rampant. I think the slider should have stayed a feature for the very large vest holders only, let´s say the Top 200. I don´t see a reason for dolphins and below using sub 100% votes. Sometimes I get odd votes with 16% or 13 % from dolphins and I really wonder, which message they actually want to convey with such a vote.
Alone for comments I sometimes use sub 100% votes but even that I do quite rarely.
