Counted as one choice

Taking this set off the shelf is one decision, so every ranking on this site counts it once: 1 visit, not 8 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all eight count.

8 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.
