James, in regard to your last paragraph: I very much doubt whether your decision not to vote is itself a good one, by the standards you’ve just espoused. After all, if you don’t have enough information to decide between voting for X and voting for Y, how can you have enough information to decide between voting for X and voting for no one? Seems to me that you have to make a decision (which might end up being the decision to cast no vote, of course) and the fact that you don’t have enough evidence to be strongly convinced that your decision is best doesn’t relieve you of the responsibility for making it.
