That's true, this method would definitely require computers to generate the ballots, which is a fairly significant flaw. I was mainly throwing out ideas to see if someone would think of something clever and say, "AHA! If you just do it this way, people can easily cast a secure Condorcet vote they can check later on."
I didn't realize you had come up with something similar, and by no means did I intend to take credit for it. I think the 3Ballot idea is clever enough that a bit of brainstorming can be fun.
