Your Proposal is a low budged fix and it could have an effect. I think what people don't get is that the vote is fixed and that splitting combined with a fixed vote makes the split a worse decision even though its the same pool size. It's a social proof and divisibility issue and not really trivial because of the "but its still the same size of the cake" argument.
the problem, in general, is that we deal with complicated issues and people can only like and agree on proposals they understand (even if they are wrong). This is why a DAO needs an unconscious voting. E.g. 90% of Steem-Users leaving is a democratic consensus, but this information wouldn't be reflected in the opinion of the remaining 10%, their opinion/votes would be completely worthless.
Ralph Merkel peer-reviewed by Buterin, Hoskinson and some others wrote a paper about DAOs and how a useful democratic consensus could be implemented. But since Steem organizations are not scientific at all arguing with them is a waste of time.
