Counted as one choice

Taking this set off the shelf is one decision, so every ranking on this site counts it once: 8 visits, not 3 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all three count.

859 Before Midnight Richard Linklater 2013 8 0

3 of these films have never been taken on their own: every visit that reached them arrived through a set. That gap is what "counted once" costs a ranking, and what opening the sets up recovers for coverage.
