[EM] O/D

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

O/D may well be better than MDDA, in terms of pure merit. For instance, it 
might be that O/D doesn't need power-truncation to match Approval's simple 
acceptable/unacceptable strategy. And it apparently can have full 
ranking-expressivity without Deluxe MDDA's separate Approval cutoff.

But MDDA is extremely simple, briefly-defined, and easy to propose. O/D 
requires a longer definition, and, like many very good methods, probably 
sounds too mathematical for public acceptance. It seems to me that O/D 
doesn't have the simplicity that is needed for public acceptance.

Of course, after MDDA has been enacted, power truncation  could be proposed 
as a subsequent proposal. Maybe later, deluxe MDDA. So MDDA can start out 
starkly simple, and be improved incrementally later.
