40 C A B
30 A B C
20 B C A
C defeats A 60:30, A defeats B 70:20, B defeats C 50:40; the weakest
defeat is dropped, C wins. If the ABC voters switch to:
30 B C A
then B wins -- lying about the acceptability of A *does* help B, even in a
pure Condorcet case (well, pure CpSSD -- although even in pure Condorcet,
B winning is probably preferable to no result).
