... or any evidence that it wasn't.

We don't know how actual voters will behave. Your assumption that the
strategic ones will use approval strategy is just as baseless as mine that
they'll (roughly) use straddle strategy.

I'm working on getting relevant data using my mturk research.

ps. I have more BR numbers, including one-sided strategy, which I'll post
later. (And no, I don't think that 100% one-sided strategy is at all
realistic, but I do think that including it in the sims gives interesting
numbers, because insofar as even one-sided strategy is not effective, there
will be less incentive to be strategic on either side.)
