[EM] Oops--last correcion of latest definition

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

It's just occurred to me that the 2 voters that I mentioned in
my latest definition of probability in an Approval election would
obviously end up with equally high overall totals for their utility
for the winners, since they have the same utilities.

Since I don't want to speak of repeating the same election, I don't
know how it would be possible to compare the results of 2 different
P, consisting of different Pijk.

Ok, how about this?:

The Pijk used by a voter are the probabilities for i & j being the 
frontrunners in each elecion k iff, provided that
we do sufficiently many Approval elections, then when we go through
the ballots of the elections afterwards, we can always make it  be that
strategy for him calculated from different Pijk will result in that voter 
getting a lower overall total for his utilities of the winners in all those 
elections.

And by doing sufficiently many Approval elections, we can make
his actual outcome utility total exceed the one with the modified
Pijk by as much as we want it to.

Now, nothing more about this from me till I'm absolutely sure or
am copying from a book or journal.
