Amusing, perhaps, but an extremely important point. People spend MILLIONS, or perhaps even BILLIONS of dollars trying to get the elections to be as satisfactory to them as possible, from donating to campaigns, to buying the gas they need or hiring the baby sitters they need to make it to the polls. Why on EARTH would they think that there was more value in having a ballot be just a tad simpler (which I don't actually believe IRV is, I think it's MORE complex than RV), than in getting a pleasing result from the election?! This is lunacy.
