This is assuming that quadratic voting isn't really linear voting. Participants in a process like this aren't "honest" they can't be counted on to follow the rules.

In a QV system one can bypass the quadratic penalty by buying people's votes directly for a small premium.

Think how hard this would be in real life, plus it's illegal to buy votes, and impossible given the secret ballot.
