[EM] Addendum: Above-Mean strategy is Better-Than-Expectation strategy too.

I forgot to mention that, in Approval, in a non-u/a, zero-information, election, when you vote for the above-mean
candidates, you're also, there too, using the Better-Than-Expectation strategy:

If there is no winnability or win-probability information available, then your expectation for the
election is the mean of all the candidates' utilities.

So, the zero-info Approval strategy of Better-Than-Mean is really an instance of the
Better-Than-Expectation strategy.
