It's a criterium that only really makes sense with a field of candidates 
that is more than 2*(# of council spots) along with my additional 
interpretation that people far below the 7th person are not desired on 
the council. We additionally know that other people chose not to 
nominate themselves because they thought that enough good potential 
members were running. In the general case, you're right.

If the election officials had done as Ciaran and I suggested more than 
once, this wouldn't be a problem. That was to include a "nobody" 
candidate. Anyone ranked below that would not be eligible for a council 
position. So I again strongly advise that this be done in the future.
