In US political vernacular, RCV == IRV. This is just a case of terminology getting warped, but it is what it is.

- lalaithion 4y agoYeah, but we should push back against this, lest it poison every attempt at getting better non-IRV RCV implemented.
- froh 4y agothat's the idea behind falsely mislabeling irv as rcv...
- gamegoblin 4y agoI think it's far too late for that. I don't know if I have ever seen any movement to push back against "wrong" vernacular succeed. Consider the more recent "coronavirus" which is equivalent to COVID-19 in the vernacular, even though it's really just a family of viruses and COVID-19 is an illness caused by a particular coronavirus instance (SARS CoV-2).
- jacobr1 4y agoAgreed - you can't fight back against labeling by telling people they are wrong. Instead to you must fight-forward with a new proposal going in a different direction.
- fdsjgfklsfd 4y ago99% of people who call it "RCV" have no idea how it works. Just call it "Hare RCV" in the same context as "Schulze RCV" or "Minimax RCV" and they'll be forced to confront their ignorance.
- godelski 4y agoHonestly I have the term RCV. It is a specific type of ranked choice systems and now we have to refer to that class as Ordinal to not be confused with the specific variant. And it leads to a lot of misunderstandings like this.
