Dear Adam!

In both your examples,
>  9% C>>B>A
>  15% C>>A>B
>  25% C>A>>B
>  12% B>C>>A
>  12% B>>A>C
>  17% A>B>>C
>  10% A>>B>C
and
>  5% C>>B>A
>  5% C>>A>B
>  39% C>A>>B
>  12% B>C>>A
>  12% B>>A>C
>  25% A>B>>C
>  2%   A>>B>C
in which the C-voters insincerely buried the sincere Condorcet Winner B, the 
straightforward counterstrategy for those who prefer B to C is easy and 
requires no insincere rankings (as would wv require): They just need to vote 
their sincere rankings and approve of B and everything above B. 
>  9% C>>B>A
>  15% C>>A>B
>  25% C>A>>B
>  12% B>>C>A
>  12% B>>A>C
>  27% A>B>>C
I said so various times, but you continue talking about the 17% alone without 
considering the whole situation. Obviously, when we are talking about 
counterstrategy, the relevant group of voters is those who prefer the sincere 
winner to the manipulated winner, in this case all who prefer B to C. This 
group has in DMC a sincere counterstrategy, but needs insincere equal-ranking 
in winning votes. 

I consider it considerably less relevant what kind of counterstrategies some 
small and special subgroup of those who prefer the sincere winner has.

Yours, Jobst
