 It's not the *only* meaningful objection. Compared to, say, approval:
It's more complex, including that results can't be given as a simple total.
It fails consistency/participation.

There are possible cases where due to the ordinal ballots, a very weak winner can win, such as where there are two main candidates that polarise opinion (with less than half the support each) and a complete non-entity:
49: A>>>>C>B49: B>>>>C>A2: C
