It has things in common with them, but it's much more difficult to comply
with than SFC is.

Basically A will have a majority over B
endquote
Not necessarily. A will certainly have a pairwise win over B. When the non
{A,B}
candidates lose, and MMPO is applied to its A,B tie, that pairwise win will mean
that B has a greater pairwise opposition than A does.

have a majority over third candidate C (if there are only three)
endquote
Correct. And if there are more than three candidates,then B will have majority
pairwise
opposition against each of them.

A will not have a voted majority over C. A might even lose to C (unless
"Condorcet candidate" is defined on cast votes), but it won't be by a
majority.
endquote
Correct. But A and B will get the same pairwise opposition from C.

In this scenario, SDSC prevents C from winning and SFC prevents B from
winning.
endquote
SFC doesn't apply to A and B, because there's no majority voting A (the
Condorcet candidate) over
B.
You wrote:
I'm assuming cast ballots look something like this:
48 C>A
~26 A>B
~26 B (sincere is B>A)
Is this wrong?
endquote
That looks right. It meets CD's premise.
In that example, A has a majority defeat against B. But A's status as Condorcet
candidate, and the sincere
voting, only guarantee that A has a pair-win against B. But that's all MMPO
needs for A to win.
