I don't see why you would guess that Score DSV would have better
Bayesian Regret than Range. It looks like you tried to make a method that
helps a voter get the best result for himself, which isn't the same as
getting the best result overall.

Warren defines BR in such a way that Range is unbeatable given sincere
votes.

If he measured your method, admitting strategic votes, he would make 
strategy assumptions that would make it look terrible.

Your wiki page seems to be lacking some proofs.
