Line 7:
:: I guess there should be some kind of threshold, but the problem is then defining where that threshold lies. If we for the sake of the argument disregard my preference for Condorcet methods, then I think I would be a lot more theorist than activist. However, I did co-write an opinion paper arguing that Norway's party list system be changed to use biproportional representation for either its top-up seats or for all seats, to increase PR.<ref>https://www.valgordningen.no/valgordning/ewExternalFiles/Innspill%20til%20valglovutvalget.pdf</ref> I suppose that would make me a nonzero amount of activist. On the other hand, Rob is pretty much all activist, but with a nonzero amount of theorist. If a nonzero amount of involvement in either category counts, then both of us should be both activists and theorists. But if I had to place Richie in one category only, it wouldn't be voting theorist, and it wouldn't be ''very'' inaccurate. The trade-off is between making meaningful distinctions and being strictly accurate. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 09:59, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
:: That said, if Richie was involved in devising STAR, his page should probably have some references to that, as it came as quite a surprise to me and probably would to others too. [[User:Kristomun|Kristomun]] ([[User talk:Kristomun|talk]]) 09:59, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
:: Aanund Hylland might be a better example of an "epsilon-activist". He proposed to Guyana's Constitutional Reform Commission, changes that would improve the country's proportional representation system.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020724015115/http://landofsixpeoples.com/news/ns906232.htm</ref> But he's definitely not an activist in the sense that e.g. Warren Smith is.
