D- Since Mr. Simmons pointed it out himself, I do not need to.

At least I may be having *some* effect about bringing up ANY *complex* reform

Not all voters have the 150 plus political I.Q.'s of EM folks and are 
continuously worrying about strategy, insincere voters, utility, etc., etc.

Even ranking 1, 2, 3, etc. will be a major mental strain for many John/Mary

Anybody watching on TV about the lifestyle of Taliban folks (with their circa 
6,000 B.C. politics) in poor suffering Afghanistan ???  

Not too much apparent discussions of election method reforms among them.
