It probably wasn't very clear what I meant by this statement.  What I
meant was that sequentially dropping the weakest candidate probably
reduces the effects of having an imperfect definition of "weakest".  The
opposite -- using the criterion to choose the "strongest" candidate
directly -- would give us the Plurality winner.
