I consider that particular failing to be minor. The SDSC failure with 4+
candidates is what alarms me, and what led me to suggest using CDTT methods.

Yes, Woodall calls this "MinGS" ("GS" meaning "gross score"). It has
roughly the same properties as MMPO (aka "MinDAGS"), but MinGS satisfies
the Plurality criterion, and satisfies LNHelp instead of LNHarm. I
don't believe it would satisfy FBC, since increasing v[a,b] in the
pairwise matrix can increase the odds that A wins at the expense of
candidates other than B.
