Right!
I'm going to use arbitrary numbers here. Let's say that you bid for the 20th off, but then you also bid for a trip that is starting on the 20th within the same priority (same set of commas). The computer does not know what you really want -- the 20th off or a trip starting on the 20th.
I used this example because I had a conversation with someone about this very situation and they couldn't understand why they didn't get the time off they wanted but someone junior to them got the days off they asked for.
