> I still don't see why A+=B>others is any different from A>B>others. OK. Another way to describe A+=B>others is A>B>>others, which is not quite the same as A>B>others. For a moment, having the '+' the way you described seemed a bit daft to me. But it then gave me a sort of idea of a "backwards" method. I haven't the brain power at the moment to invent one, but is there a method where all of the rankings are collapsed (i.e. the pluses are ignored) and if there is still not a result, the rankings in people's ballots are expanded? Or may be if an existing method can be reworded in such a way as to have the rankings expanded rather than collapsed?
