[EM] Chris Benham: IRV & Approval reply

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

I still rarely check EM, and rarely reply to something. I never did check 
this message from Chris, so I'm just making a few brief comments now.

CB: You are not  STILL talking about the apocryphal  "3  Australians"?

Apocryphal meaning what? That I didn't do a scientific poll in Australia? We 
don't have that, and so we must go by what we have.

Still talking about it? Well, they didn't contact me to take back what 
they'd said.


You said:

>From the point-of-view of voters that aren't interested in
strategising, Approval doesn't "guarrantee" anything.

I reply:

It isn't quite clear what strategy guarantees you want Approval to offer to 
people who aren't interested in strategizing anyway.

And I don't know why Albert was "applying" Duverger's law to methods to 
which Duverger didn't "apply" it.
