I can't agree at all. IMO the primary goal of a good voting method is to
make voters not regret voting honestly. While it's useful to be able to use
a defensive strategy after analysing expected poll outcomes, frontrunners
etc., the best voting method would be the one that does not create the need
to take these things into the account at all.
Chances of being able to vote honestly, with no strategic burden to bear.
That's what the manipulability numbers are about.
