True. Ranking cost #4 could mean, at least and in no particular order:
- Cost doesn't matter to me.
- This split doesn't affect my costs as significantly as it affects other things I want to check off.
- If the CMP doesn't give me 1, 2, and/or 3, cost doesn't matter because because I'm not going to fundraise (even some minimum reasonable cost) to go--e.g. I'll go to another regional, or save it for IRI, or build a better robot, or put it in the bank, or...
- And probably at least several other reasons. No need to jump to conclusions about respondents.
