[EM] RE: Cloneproof SSD

Just a reminder about clones.

N1 A>B
N2 B>A

C comes along.

N1.1  C>A>B
N1.2  A>C>B
N1.3  A>B>C

N2.1  C>B>A
N2.2  B>C>A
N2.3  B>A>C

Depending on the numbers involved, who is a clone (after C appears on the 
scene) becomes rather debateable-- the age of After Clone (AC) versus the age 
of Before Clone (BC).

Even the original A and B might be deemed clones of each other - 2 
ultra-liberals, 2 ultra-conservatives, etc. with only *style* differences 
between them.

Standard mantra- an election method works on the votes cast.

Are votes cast depending on the election method being used ???  Obviously YES 
- the now very old--- sincere versus insincere (strategic) voting.

Something of a chicken-egg situation (especially with 3 or more choices).
