The point is that the later no harm property means that there is no
incentive to truncate your ballot.
If A's supporters changed to
35 A
33 B>c
32 C
The result becomes
A>B: 35 > 33
A<C: 35 < 65
B>C: 33 > 32
Thus, A supporters have shifted the vote from a C win to a tie (which
is an improvement, unless B wins the tie-break). Thus, it is in their
interests to truncate, if their ranking is A>>>C>B.
The end result may be that voters will start truncating/bullet
voting, getting us back to plurality.

I was saying that to preserve the later no harm property, you must do
something like IRV.
This results in a loss of access to some of the ranking information, but
at least it doesn't create an incentive to not rank candidates.
The other option is to make it compulsory to rank all candidates.
Actually, would randomly completing uncompleted ballots create an
incentive to fully rank all the candidates even in condorcet ?
