I'd like to refer again to Demorep's example where (using my Nader, Clinton & Dole terms), Nader has a majority, but his voters don't know it, & so they also vote for Clinton, in Approval. To believe that they need to vote for Clinton, they must believe that Dole has a plurality. Nader has a majority, but his voters believe that Dole has a plurality? Come on. Possible, but how likely? And yet that's the only way Approval can fail to elect a CW by giveaway in that example. You could say that the same is true in Plurality (FPP), but the difference is that, as I said, it takes twice as many to give victory away in Approval, and if it happens it isn't an equilibrium.
