It's time to agree to disagree.
But thank you for demonstrating (as if it needed more demonstrating on

to the innumerable different methods advocated by rank-method
advocates, who will never be able to agree on one; and due to the
innumerable criteria by which they "justify" their favorite methods.
i can live with one basic criterion:
if more voters agree that Candidate A is a better choice than Candidate
B than the number of voters that prefer B, then if at all possible,
let's not elect Candidate B.
simple, and hard to argue with.
but i know that Mike will argue with it. perhaps i should un-plonk him.
