The co-operation/defection problem is nothing in comparison to the problems of Plurality. By comparison, to just have, for a problem, the C/D problem would be more like not having a problem at all. Think of it as a nuisance, as opposed to a disasterous distortion that thoroughly conceals public wishes.
The reason why I emphasize it anyway is because it's the only Approval problem worthy of the name. That's why I say that you can't significantly improve on Approval unless you gain defection-resistance. And I'll say again that if you think that Condorcet doesn't have the C/D problem, then just try Condorcet in the 27,24,49 example and the 33,32,34 example. Mike Ossipoff
