All methods will have some results that are counter-intuitive, at
least to some people.  You can always construct an argument by
claiming that if the public sees such and such a result, they will
revolt, causing chaos, horror, and a bloody purge of election method
theorists.  The reality is that the current electoral process gives
frequent counter-intuitive results, and there isn't the slightest hint
of revolution (at least not from that).

See Mr. Arrow's observations.

The current electoral process in the U.S.A. (i.e. Plurality) produces lots of 
insincere voting and/or a number of minority rule winners (especially for 
legislative body gerrymander district elections).
