Sorry, I appear to have been an idiot. Peter de Blanc answered my complaints at http://www.spaceandgames.com/?p=8
and it looks to me like I NOW have to agree with Forest Simmons that this IS a great new contribution to voting theory. Also, I showed there in my comment how to generalize their scheme by adding a parameter P. It looks liek the best P is P=0.99 or so, not P=0.5 (their value) or P=0+ (my value from before).
