It's actually the combination of large voting power and UNCERTAINTY that 
can produce divergent CR and approval strategies.  Granted, it's a very 
specific sort of uncertainty, but I don't think the term "detailed 
information" captures the situation effectively.

Also, in this situation I don't think it's fair to say that optimal CR 
strategy is equivalent to approval strategy.  In the example you made, how 
can anything other than 5-3-1 be considered optimal?
