Dear Eric,

you will never win this discussion.

Even when IRV was being used and the election of
candidate A caused some public outcry and even when
you have enough data to prove that some other election
method would have elected some other candidate B, IRV
supporters will reject this example as irrelevant.
They will argue that you cannot prove that the election
of candidate B wouldn't have caused the same outcry.
Or they will argue that you cannot prove that in the
long run IRV causes more public outcry that a given
other election method.
