Hi, Raul Miller: > The more votes in favor of a defeated option, the weaker > the defeat. Where two pairs of options have the same number > of votes in favor of the defeated option, the fewer votes in > favor of the defeating option, the weaker the defeat. > Why? If we eliminate A>>B, then in effect we throw away the votes of those people who voted A in favor of B (the others are already represented, in the Schwartz set, by B>>C>>A). It makes sense to throw away as few votes as possible. Therefore the weakest defest would be the one with the fewest votes in favor of A or, those being equal, the more votes in favor of B.
In other words, these two clauses should be switched. (Note that when people rate all choices, the two are equivalent.) -- Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/
