STAR is useless if people can assign real-valued scores. That makes me think that if it works, it’s for reasons of discrete mathematics, so we should analyze the system from the perspective of discrete mathematics before trusting it.
A fair point. If voters were allowed real-valued scores, they could make scores very close, and things still basically devolve into approval voting.
\x → max(0, log(x)) does not seem like the optimal function for any seemly purpose.
Also true. I just don’t know how to continue log into the negative ;p
