Yes, but it specifically ends the "vote for a candidate you dislike instead of the one you do like" type. Strategic approval voting is simply setting a higher/lower threshold on your approval. Your favorite is always included in your vote (assuming you like at least one candidate).

The strategy of this is no simpler than the strategy of a single vote system.

Ranking candidates would express preferences more than approval voting. But you advocated approval voting solely.
