Interesting idea.

I'm not sure this is a great idea. It seems obvious to me that most voters
would use Power Truncation by default. If so, then on these ballots:

49 A
24 B
27 C>B

A wins (51 votes opposition from B or C), and B does the worst (76 votes
opposition from C). I think this will force C voters to rank C=B.
