In my 2nd bad-example for Young's method (which measures defeats by
margin-of-defeat), I mis-wrote the rankings. I meant to say:
Actual rankings:
41: Dole
20: Clinton
29: Nader, Clinton
(In the initial posting, I left Clinton out of the Nader voters'
rankings).

Also, when I stated the basic democratic principle:
If a full majority of the voters indicate that they'd rather
have A than B, then if we choose A or B, it should be A.
...I meant to say, after that, that Condorcet(EM) is the
only method that will never unnecessarily violate that
basic democratic principle. And that the requirment to ;never
unnecessarily violate that principle results in a reqirment
to meet GMC, the Generalized Majority Criterion. These requirements
are met by no method but Condorcet(EM).
