I agree. For those who don't know, the Plurality criterion says that if X is ranked strictly above all other candidates on more ballots than Y is ranked above any candidates, then Y must not win. http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Plurality_criterion I like a more general standard that says that if X both pairwise beats Y and positionally dominates Y, then Y mustn't win.
