I forgot to mention that, in Approval, in a non-u/a, zero-information,
election, when you vote for the above-mean
candidates, you're also, there too, using the Better-Than-Expectation strategy:
If there is no winnability or win-probability information available, then your
expectation for the
election is the mean of all the candidates' utilities.
So, the zero-info Approval strategy of Better-Than-Mean is really an instance
of the
Better-Than-Expectation strategy.
