It couldn't have mercied anyway unless we'd seen an absolutely crazy amount of votes, well in excess of the usual cutoff. First, because it never hit 15-0 or 16-1, second, because discussion means no mercy. I might be inclined to bend the rule a little if we saw something like 30-0, but not when it hasn't even hit the cutoff.
