Yeah it is. The average SU of a method is what determines what your
expectation is for future elections for which we don't yet know who
the candidates will be.
Worst-case SU wouldn't be important unless you could convincintly
argue that there was a serious danger that an unliked voter median
candidate would do irreparable damage or abolish demoncracy. That
isn't credible, and average SU is what matters.
