<DIV>I've come to the strong view that truncation (e.g. bullet voting)</DIV>
<DIV>without order-reversal shouldn't really qualify as a (insincere)</DIV>
<DIV>"strategy". </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't see any point or use in us trying to distinguish between:</DIV>
<DIV>truncation because the voter is sincerely ambivalent or has no </DIV>
<DIV>preference among the unranked candidates, truncation because </DIV>
<DIV>the voter's preferences among the unranked candidates are too </DIV>
<DIV>weak for her to be bothered recording, or truncation because the <BR>voter fears being stung by later-harm or is deliberately concealing <BR>a clear pairwise preference in a diabolical scheme to thwart the </DIV>
<DIV>election of a shining sincere Condorcet winner.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree that resistance to Burying is atractive and IRV's big selling<BR>point versus Condorcet methods. </DIV>
