▲=== Beware the "What if?" Scenario ===
One avid EM analyst (who may choose to remain anonymous) has fired the following scenario at several method proposals to apparently illuminate vulnerability to tactical voting. It used to trouble me until I thought about what it would mean in the real world. Once I did that, I realized that it is a preposterous red herring that is not worth worrying about. It is now important to me to explain why so that others encountering this scenario (or its ilk) are not tripped up by it.
Line 40 ⟶ 44:
:I offered the above scenario to suggest strategic differences between [[Definite Majority Choice]] and [[Condorcet//Approval]]. Unfortunately, [[User:Jrfisher]] has interpreted my presentation of this scenario as an attack on one or the other method, and believes that I believe the above scenario is realistic. He has since requested that I stop confusing people, and I have agreed. [[User:KVenzke|Kevin Venzke]] 21:08, 20 Aug 2005 (PDT)

[[The Center for Election Science]] recently posted an article/whitepaper/whatever about tactical voting on their LinkedIn feed titled "[https://electionscience.org/library/tactical-voting-basics/ Tactical Voting Basics]".<ref>The C4ES LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/the-center-for-election-science_tactical-voting-basics-the-center-for-election-activity-6705229714354778112-kWN9/</ref> I have had a chance to read the whitepaper yet, but I'm curious: what is it that [[C4ES]] gets right that the [[Tactical voting]] article on [[electowiki]] is silent about? Is the C4ES article clearer because it's shorter and doesn't get lost in the weeds? Is there anything we need to do in order to make the [[Tactical voting]] article as useful as C4ES's article? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 03:49, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
