I understand that there's a strategically-important difference, for an
honest A>B>C voter, between A>B and A. However, I think that it's entirely
natural for such a voter to truncate C at least. Even if there's an
unelectable D=Cthulu, most people's first instinct would be to truncate
C=Sheriff of Nottingham.
