A supermajority requirement is a requirement for a rough

that can be forced.
Ah, but there is a paradox: Consensus on one of the options does exist.
The option just got dropped (failed n:1 requirements) due to people
wanting another option, too. That is, I think, a technical failing of
the voting system. We fail the Strong Defensive Strategy Criterion.
