e.g.
What reflection concerning the irregular sequence of dates 1884, 1885, 1886, 1888, 1892, 1893, 1904 did Bloom make before their arrival at their destination? He reflected that the progressive extension of the field of individual development and experience was regressively accompanied by a restriction of the converse domain of interindividual relations. As in what ways? From inexistence to existence he came to many and was as one received: existence with existence he was with any as any with any: from existence to nonexistence gone he would be by all as none perceived. What action did Bloom make on their arrival at their destination? At the housesteps of the 4th of the equidifferent uneven numbers, number 7 Eccles street, he inserted his hand mechanically into the back pocket of his trousers to obtain his latchkey. Was it there? It was in the corresponding pocket of the trousers which he had worn on the day but one preceding.

Also this part! You don't have to think about who's likely to win AT ALL. I think as an Irish person (where RCV has been working just fine for the last 100 years) I'm personally affronted by this lol
The system demands more from voters. Instead of choosing a single candidate, voters have to figure out what they think about every candidate, then produce an ordinal ranking on the basis of their own feelings and calculations about who seems likeliest to win.

This is the precise opposite of reality here; RCV requires LESS strategising because you just write down your preferences, you don't have to think about tactical voting whatsoever!
Ranked-choice voting might better reflect voter preferences, but it is chaotic, requiring extra strategizing by both candidates and voters.
