AGAINT has a specific history; someone privately emailed the Assessor and
said "when I say AGAINT, that's a code for FOR", then publicly voted
AGAINT. The CFJ question was whether the private code or the (assumed-by
everyone else) typo was the valid vote.
Because of that, AGAINT is now Agoran slang/in-joke for "a confusing vote".
I agree with you completely on typos in general.
