In the zero information case (with many voters), "above mean utility approval strategy" (Strategy E in Kevin's simulation) is optimal for maximinzing an individual voters expected utility.
However, that's not what Kevin is using as a measure of success. If I understand him correctly, a vote is successful if it (positively) breaks a tie. The optimal zero info strategy for this measure of success is "above median utility approval," which Kevin did not include in his simulation.
