Hmm. What if I truly want to express the opinion that I like
A, and really and truly find B unacceptable, and thus express my
preference as BDA?
Why is this to be considered "strategic", as opposed to truly
expressing my preference? Why should the voting system be degraded to
refuse to allow me this expression of my belief?
I think I must be missing something major here (sorry:I've had
less than an average of 5 hours of sleep a night for the last 10 days
or so, and in my old age my faculties are failing me)
