Of course if it's possible to find a large majority that can accomplish the criterion's goal, but it's also possible to find a smaller majority that can't, then the method fails the criterion, as defined. At the end of the criterion wording, I'd like to add the words: "The above accomplishment should always be attainable, regardless of the strategizing of voters other than the ones who strategize to gain that accomplishment." That's because, what good would defensive strategy be, however well informed about other voters' preferences, if the defensive strategizers also had to predict what offensive strategies would be used, and by whom? I got some stray characters while writing this, so I hope it posts ok. And I hope that the above fix validly solves the problem it's intended to solve. Mike Ossipoff
