It doesn't matter who had chose Legume.....the win would have been tainted because it would have been perceived that Legume won because he and his advocates were louder and more squeaky than those of the other artists (who have seemed very quiet by comparison). The only difference is that if he had won, we would have had a lot of crowing about the success of the strategy, and he wouldn't have pulled his gallery and other art (did he do that to protest not winning or the administrators or because he is a spoil sport who pouts when he doesn't get his own way....and who cares?) The joke has been played on all of us. Too bad it wasn't funny.
