I'd like to correct a typo in the letter that I just sent to EM: I said: Any BC complying method meets SDSC because the members of that majority can make B have a majority defeat (by ranking A over B) and can make sure that B won't have a majority defeat (by not ranking B). Since B beats no one by majority, then his majority defeat can't be the weakest defeat in a cycle. [end quote] What I meant was that the members of that majority who prefer A to B have the power to make a majority defeat against B, by voting A over B. And they have the power to make sure that B won't have a majority defeat against anyone else--they can do that by refusing to rank B. Since B beats no one by majority, then the majority defeat against him can't be the weakest defeat in a cycle.
