When in my most recent letter, I said that when B voters declare that they're going to rank C over A, in Margins, they're inviting A voters to order reverse, I of course meant to say that they're inviting C voters to order-reverse. I should add that in Margins the CW is defeated more easily than that too; no need for order-reversal; mere truncation, strategically intended or not, is all it takes. You talked about an insincere extension problem in VA. I told why it isn't really a problem. But the Margins problems, like its violation of expressed majority wishes, and its need for drastic (for a rank-method) defensive strategy even if innocent truncation occurs are in stark contrast to the relative strategy-freeness of VA, where you don't need any defensive strategy if there's a CW & order-reversal doesn't occur.
