Though it's already been discussed plenty [1], I want to note that I consider this the biggest flaw in the proposal, so it's not entirely uncontroversial. Not because it has any bad effects when people vote sincerely, but because it appears to me to offer more incentive to strategy. And I consider the end achieved by this measure (as articulated by aj) to be of dubious worth, compared to what plain Cordorcet/CpSSD gets us.
