[EM] Later-no-harm question

[Bart Ingles]

Random dictator can elect B 9/37 of the time, and presumably meets
later-no-harm.  In fact the 2nd choices are unused for that method.

I can't see much value in LNH as a criterion, unless getting voters to
rank as many candidates as possible is seen as an end in itself.
