You know that was not the point of my last message. Condorcet is orthogonal to 
the issue. A condorcet vote is just a full run off of options against one and 
other conducted via a ranking. The presence of "further discussion" effectively 
provides a "we should do this, we should not do this" vote for each choice. The 
question is "what is the 3:1 majority against?" If the majority is between 
"further discussion" and the 3:1 controlled result then I can see how it is the 
same as a "do this, don't do this" vote. If it is between the next closest 
runner up, then it seems poorly defined.
