Demorep: I don't know that any of our proposals to the public contain the technical words that you were objecting to. We all know that proposals to the public should be expressed briefly in plain language. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't use whatever words are needed when discussing methods' relative merits here. Also, criteria can be written in precise language, available to be checked on by anyone who wants more than the plain-language statements that we'd use to tell people what a method can do, or what it won't do, or what it won't make voters do. For instance, I might tell someone that Approval will never give anyone incentive to vote a less-liked candidate over their favorite. If someone wants that in precise language, then they could be referred to a more carefully-worded statement of FBC.
