I think none of the above option would have been okay. Just means in that person
opinion that none of the above programs would do it. Abstain would have been
pointless. but now it seems that one or more of the programs would have made GM

When we have read posts for example from Bob Hyatt that in his opinion that no
program at the moment is of GM level.
