Both of those methods (as defined on that site) like D because he has
many votes in all of his contests, even though he doesn't win any of
them.
Simpson does not care about pairwise wins vs. losses. Dodgson does to
some extent, but not enough to keep D from winning. It considers D's
three losses combined to be much more forgivable than any of ABC's
single losses.
