Topic is IRV vs Condorcet.
My point last time was that easy races are no challenge to either.
Now I concede that not all hard races are a challenge, but the few that IRV
has handled do not guarantee that it will do all well, considering the
opportunity for failure.

That is incorrect. There have been tight (not "easy") elections where
IRV chose the Condorcet winner. The recent Pierce County Executive and
Assessor-Recorder races are two examples.
Also, there's actually a decent amount of real world ranking data
available. IRV data from San Francisco, Burlington, and Pierce County.
STV data from Cambridge and Ireland. Preferential presidential polls
from Ireland. And more. I'm in the process of making it all available
online in a uniform format.

A good summary. If we only cared about the easy ones Plurality would be
good enough.

Do to no one what you would not want done to you.
If you want peace, work for justice.
