Excellent point. The basal ganglia is thought to address this problem by “gating” one motor plan while suppressing the others that narrowly lost the competition for selection. It probably performs a similar function in abstract decision-making. See my paper Neural mechanisms of human decision-making (linked in another comment on this post) for more on this.
