There are plenty of legitimate circumstances under which one could provide a competent vote less than ten paragraphs that doesn't have edges. If the user doesn't want to compare edges, then he/she is forced to write ten paragraphs. The only alternative this voting system gives to giving edges is having to write an entire ten paragraphs. I've seen plenty of bad votes in my time that try to hide behind the fact that they give edges, and I've also seen plenty of good votes that don't give edges and are only two paragraphs long. I think it's silly to make users give ten whole paragraphs if they choose not to give edges.
