Now, clearly under these suppositions, the overall political centroid for the entire population is properly 0; and the ''average'' for the elected body as a whole is indeed this. However, because of our gerrymander, The first three seats can form a majority whose weakest members are of value -0.6, which is clearly not representative of the entire populace.
So yeah, supposing that Score works somehow better than it probably will in reality, you've changed the result in the legislature from a +1 to a +.4. It's a big improvement, but I'd hardly call it "neutering".
PR returns the better result here IMO, since P (the dead-center of the district) determines what passes or not.
