Actually, my opinion is that social utility *isn't* a voting system
criterion. A method's performance can't be measured without actual voter
behavior and known voter utilities, neither of which you can have at the
same time.
I would guess that your preference for this standard depends on your belief
that many voters will be "sincere."
