I can see this now, too. Worsening someone's score could happen to make a preferred candidate into the winner. That is surely why random filling always makes more sense than truncation.

Not always. If there's a danger or likelihooid of offensive order-reversal, and you want to deter it, then leave out of your ranking the candidate(s) whose voters are considering offensive order-reversal. Announce before the election that you are doing so and that you ask others to do so.
