Well, yes, and that's the point. You're saying that you don't like anything below No Award, but if one of them must win, you would prefer A over B. Now if you genuinely don't care whether A, B, or C wins, but hate them all equally, then yes, leave them off your ballot. But the NA test is designed to stop a winner actually winning when more people voted for No Award than for BDWEWBSM, even if their sub-No Award votes converged on that candidate.
There are some people who think that only ballots that rank BOTH No Award and the Tentative Winner count; this isn't true. Ballots that rank EITHER OR BOTH count in the showdown. In the Showdown, it's as if there are only two candidates: the TW and NA, running head-to-head against each other.
