You use movie site data for your AAR-DSV examples. Does AAR-DSV 
manipulability mean that a movie site that uses it would face difficulty 
telling users which movie is the most popular or highest rated? The 
manipulability proofs wouldn't harm them as strongly (since very few 
users rate all of the movies), but they would in principle remain, 
unless I'm missing something...
