Kevin then said:
Here is such an example. Suppose these are the sincere preferences:
49 A
51 B>C
Suppose that on the following cast ballots, A wins:
49 A
51 B
This shows an MD failure. It doesn't show an SFC failure, since those
voters preferring B to A are not voting sincerely (they aren't voting
the C preference).
Then suppose that on the following cast ballots, B wins:
49 A
51 B>C
This shows that in the previous scenario, there was no SDSC failure,
since the B voters could have voted in a different way in order to
make A lose.
I reply:
But I don' t know if I'd really call that an example, since it doesn't show
how some particular method could do that.
Anyway, when I said I'd agree and be content if SFC and SDSC aren't
violated, I didn't mean that I was looking for a Minimal Defense failure
that didn't fail those two criteria. I merely meant that I evaluate methods
by SFC & SDSC, rather than by Minimal Defense.
