So should this realization by Jameson Quinn tell us that all previous historical

Unfortunately I think not because I think Bucklin voters historically
were urged to provide rank-orderings not ratings.
well, isn't that how it works for Bucklin? the inclusion of the
2nd-choice or 3rd-choice votes in the total vote count is a sorta
discrete decision. then only inequalities exist for the decisions made
by Bucklin. if that's the case, the only information that matters in
rating candidates are the relative ranks.
i dunno.
