I don't object to such criteria. I just prefer not to use them. In practice
they usually have to be translated into votes-only criteria in order to figure
out how to use or test them.
You say it is inelegant to specify assumptions about methods to which criteria
apply. But your alternative is criteria that have to discuss not just sincere
preferences but also the degree to which voting may be insincere. And you need
to define these concepts in a universal way, irrespective of ballot format. I
don't feel this is more elegant. Possibly better-defined (if done well), but
not more elegant.

Votes-only criteria vs preference criteria:

Kevin, you objected to my preference-mentioning criteria on the grounds that no
one knows what the voters'
true preferences really are. But so what?
