I'm sure people actually thought about Single Transferable Vote quite 
carefully. Simpler voting processes may make people feel they have more 
of a handle on what's going on, but that doesn't mean such voting 
processes are necessarily more fair or reflect the will of the voters 
better. Note that in the future we will hopefully be electing multiple 
seats to the board, and this way everyone can influence who's in all seats.
