Mr. Schulze wrote in part--

The aim of clone criteria is to verify, whether a method can
be manipulated by presenting additional candidates with
absolutely identical opinions.

 I suggest that clone sets be treated as one choice for head to head math.
Example--

25  A > clone set > C > D
42  D > C > clone set > A
etc.

The possibility of a clone set in a large public election is nearly zero
(until clone biological technology produces cloned politicians-- dozens of
Clintons, Nixons, Johnsons, Bushs, etc.- a true electoral nightmare).
