I feel this is undoubtedly true. I think it is very important to keep the idea of ranked ballots on the table, because us voters intuitively are good at ranking things. Give me a ranked ballot and I can fill out, and allow me to help figure out how to count ranked ballots as a SEPARATE issue. Just give me ranked ballots and I can live through using a "wrong" method to count 'em for a few election cycles.

If voters are going to rank the candidates without regard for the method, then there is no gratuitous approval problem in the implicit approval version of DMC.
