I found this post a lot more enlightening than the posts that it's a followup to.

TGGP, as far as I understand, Arrow's theorem is an artifact of forcing people to send only ordinal information in voting (and enforcing IIA which throws away that information on the strength of preferences between two alternative which is available from rankings relative to third alternatives). People voting strategically isn't an issue either when you're extrapolating them and reading off their opinions.
