About 60% of the voters have indicated that they'd rather elect
B than A. And so margins elects A.

WV counts, keeps, & honors the B>A majority. A has a majority defeat that wv doesn't lose or erase. With margins, what happens to that majority against A? Margins erases it.
And about 60% prefer A to C. What about honoring *that* majority? One of these majorities has to be lost. Both WV and margins count, keep, & honor one of them, and erase the other.

If one wants a majority to count, then one doesn't want margins.

Apparently, then, one doesn't want WV either! Or any other system.
