I think the discussion is severely lacking a proper consideration of how strategic voting affects the systems it likes best. For example, score voting encourages people to exaggerate their preferences, and approval voting makes it non-trivial to figure out who you should approve.

Also it seems very unlikely for strategic voting to become a worse problem for approval voting or score voting than it is for the systems we're stuck with right now. Perhaps they'd end up making no difference, though I doubt it. If you feel like writing up your thoughts on this, or pointing to a good writeup, I'd be interested.
