As I've said, Condorcet wv, such as SSD or BeatpathWinner, has practically 
zero actual need for ARLO or power truncation. They could be useful to 
reassure timid voters who would otherwise resort to favorite burial or 
unnecessary equal ranking, etc.
But EM Condorcet polls have no such voters. Evidently no EM voters have 
strategy concerns that affect their Condorcet voting. Condorcet works 
perfectly in EM polls.
So there's no need for ARLO or power truncation in EM polls.
