Does anyone disagree? I'm tempted to. I'm not sure Later-no-help is inherently valuable. But even if it is, many methods sacrifice it to accomplish something else. Margins, it seems to me, is DOA as a proposal due to the Plurality criterion. That 35 A>B, 25 B, 40 C would elect A is too counter-intuitive.
