It's more than that... he used a simple math trick to ensure the nose won: if 60% hated the nose, and 40% were ok with it, there was no conceivable way for the nose to win. By splitting the anti-nose group, as long as the pro-nose group remained constant the chance they would win goes WAY up... so make the two new choices as unattractive (a.k.a. still not the original KK face) as you can, and split the anti nose group neatly in two... nearly guaranteed victory (which can be adjusted as needed by screening out "VPN/TOR cheaters". The choice was never real-- nobody liked the noses except the new players, and the "non-CK" crowd he said he showed it to (I have doubts about that, lol). He knew without a single doubt: if he'd offered up the original artwork as an option, the "Nose" would be dead and buried.
