I was aware of this and absolutely agree that you COULD go to the "deliberative session" if they wanted to. However, people pushing SB2 were emphasizing the problem of sitting through the long combined deliberative session and voting. They emphasized the ease of just voting (cluelessly) under SB2.
I don't think SB2 encourages responsible citizenship. "Easy" citizenship, yup.
