Can anyone explain this to me? I haven't understood it yet.

Obviously the reason I test whether lowering any "favorite" causes a desired 
result is the fact that any one of those candidates
actually might be the sincere favorite.

I will read the other messages again but I am not sure how you will make a 
better votes-only definition without doing something
similar to this. The FBC of course theoretically is passed by a lot of methods 
that would not pass the votes-only version. But
I don't believe it's likely that, in those cases, the methods are really 
providing a valuable guarantee.
