Never knew about this - thanks for the most interesting read.

Is the 2nd factor a problem with the voting system or with the psychology of the voters though?

This is a desirable property of a voting system. If we prefer X over Y (X > Y), then adding Z can give: Z > X > Y, X > Z > Y, or X > Y > Z. Adding Z ought not change the ordering of X and Y.
