Re: Re: What does FD Mean



What you say is all correct, although I suppose people might be able
to get at least a rough poll of voter preferences if they actually
care. Assuming people don't know enough details about others'
preferences to vote strategically is basically security by obscurity
so I wouldn't want to rely upon it.

As a matter of methodology, I think we should separate the process of
identifying problems in our voting system and gauging their severity
from the process of looking for ways to improve it. This makes it much
easier to stay objective.

Warren D. Smith wrote some code to measure the performance of various
voting systems (including various Condorcet systems) under various
simulated conditions.
