[EM] Juho--Schudy's statement is correct.

[Steve Eppley]

I think Warren Schudy could have written a stronger negative comment 
about Range Voting.  Comparing it to Approval in his paper, he said it 
offers "little or no gain" (see below).  That suggests outcomes with 
Range Voting would tend to be at least as good as with Approval.  
Outcomes with Range Voting could be much worse.  What happens if many 
altruistic voters tend to try to vote sincerely and selfish voters tend 
to use the optimal strategy of extremizing to the limits of the range?  Ugh.
