As I see it:
* Advantage of Majority-Judgement (MJ): Makes it (relatively compared to
score and approval methods) more difficult to vote strategically.
* Advantage of score ballots: Collect the greatest amount of information
from the voter.
Combining those two advantages could yield a better method. I encourage
Ŭalabio to explore that possibility.
Yet I would recommend adding yet another advantage, namely the ability
to fully rank all the choices. As I've said before, credibility for the
correctness of the most popular choice is undermined if the method
cannot also identify the second-most popular choice, and so on down to
the least-popular choice.

think their objection has validity. If they find it too hard to find
the right rating between -99 and +99, then they'll consider the
method bad however you put it. Again, RBJ has voiced the same point
here on the list: "Range asks for too much, Approval asks for too
little".
¡That is so last week! I wish to find a way to merge
Score-Voting and Majority-Judgement into something even better.
In order to find something better, we would at least need to know what's
wrong with what we have. There seems to be a lot of disagreement about
that point; smart people can't agree on whether Score or MJ is better.
So I think research is in order before we tear off and design 15 new
systems.
