You spoke of your proposal as manipulation-free. But is that really the
goal? If it were, wouldn't IRV and Plurality be the best choices? The
genuine strategy problem is when voters are strategically forced to not vote
their preferences. It isn't that the method is manipulable by strategy. It's
that the method imposes strategy need on voters.
Sure, I spoke of vulnerability to offensive order-reversal, but its
importance lies in the defensive strategy need that the offensive
order-reversal causes for others.
