I admit my method is complex -simpler would be better. Could you provide an example of your (or Chris's) idea to show how it would discriminate a low utility centrist from a high utility one?

How for example

45 A>B
8 B>A
7 B>C
40 C>B

elects B

but

45 A>>>>B
8 B>A
7 B>C
40 C>>>>B

elects A ?

I would be interested.
