Ah, thank you for that excellent explanation.Dear Eric, you wrote (14 Jan 2003):Would you care to point to the algorithm you used that would pick B:E as a kept-defeat.There is no directed path from candidate E to candidate B with a strength of 4 or more. Therefore, when Ranked Pairs is being used and you get to that point where you have to decide whether B > E (of strength 4) has to be locked or skipped, it is clear that B > E has to be locked because locking B > E cannot result in a directed cycle.
