In my suggestsion for what P&P might have meant, I should replace"loser" with "candidate".
Markus says that P&P spoke of adding rathrer than deleting candidates. Yes, and that's why Ididn't say that my suggestion was what they said, and why I instead said only that maybe it was what they mean. What they would have said if they'd made an effort for a criterion that would make sense when used with all methods, including cardinal methods.
