That's a rather unfortunate feature of endorsement.

Arguments: Since the original document specified in particular a "Perl-style 
'or'", rather than simply a more general type of "or", the message presented a 
reasonably unambiguous intent to follow a strict logical interpretation. In 
that case, the question at play is whether this intent is stronger than the 
intent to vote "what Murphy votes, otherwise AGAINST".
