FBC/SF is just a shortcut for expectation FBC. FBC/SF is easier to demonstrate compliance with because it only looks for noncompliance in one place.

DAMC, it seems to me, passes FBC/SF. It also seems to me that the way in which DAMC can reward favorite burial is so unpredictable, and just as likely to hurt as harm the voter, that it can’t be said to help the voter’s expectation, leaving the mistreatment of one’s favorite to give the favorite-burial a negative expectation increment.

FBC/SF assumes that that can be said, for all methods, for the favorite-burials that FBC/SF doesn’t look at. Maybe that’s a good assumption. But expectation FBC is what it’s really based on. You don’t want it to be knowable that the voter can improve his/her expectation by favorite-burial, without very improbable predictive information.
