Well, if you want to know why I would criticize methods that consider ranked
methods to be approved, it's because this gives voters more incentive to 
abbreviate their rankings. I think such incentive is very harmful to similar
candidates.

By the way, you don't have to weed out the non-Smith candidates. "While 
there's no CW, eliminate the Approval loser" always picks a Smith candidate.
