My problem with this proposed criteria is that I found it much
easier to understand the impact of both these votes *because*
all the affected groups were on a single ballot. The only thing
wrong with the music makers vote was one malcontent. 

Among all the complaints posted over and over again, I didn't
see anything that I felt was a problem. If someone doesn't
understand the significance of a vote, then I really don't care
what their opinion is. This is not a democracy. If they don't
understand how things work they can ask, or read the
documentation. I only wish there was some way to force people to
pass a quiz on usenet knowledge before being allowed to post.
