There should be a few more fewer ranks in the red in his example.<br>

Also, I don't think voters care that much if their deeper preferences<br>
aren't consulted when their top prefs get elected or come in 2nd place<br>
and so it seems contrived to make a big deal out of it. This does get<br>
at why little is lost when only 3 rankings are allowed with IRV, which<br>
then makes it easier to use those rankings as approval votes for a first<br>
round that reduces the number of candidates much more quickly.<br>

One man might say: "This does get at why little is lost when only 3 rankings are allowed with IRV".<br>
The other man might say: "This does get at why full IRV is not much better than 3-candidate IRV".<br>
