3: I basically agree with you. Others clearly do not.
4: Oddly enough, EPH made the efforts here much more obvious, in a way not having EPH stats wouldn't have, because it shows cross-corellation between ballots in a very clear way. Ultimately, the main problem with Dave's assumption that an honest and fair Admin can (and should) just ignore slate ballots is that unlike fraudulent ballots, slate ballots -aren't- fraudulent -- they're problematic because of the vote-power-magnification problem, but they do represent real members really voting, who deserve a proportional share of the ballot...but not an extraproportional share.
5: Yep! This is honestly why trying to handle too much at the BM itself is a really, really bad idea which happens all too often (and why "the room's" tendency to send anything the slightest bit complicated to committee is a good thing, overall). Unintended consequences are unintended, and consequences. We can't avoid -every- unintended conseqeunce, but we can at least -try-.
