I expect you're right, but isn't the Condorcet Criterion phrased something
like "if there is a sincere Condorcet winner, and all voters vote sincerely,
then the sincere Condorcet winner must win"? I admit that it doesn't mean
very much if, in practice, the sincere condorcet winner sometimes doesn't
win because people don't vote sincerely, but it does provide a distinction
between Condorcet methods and approval, plurality etc.

D- The sincere/insincere horse has been beat to death so many times on this
list that I have lost count.
A standard 3 choice circular tie.
34 ABC
33 BCA
32 CAB

Who, if anybody, has 50 *sincere* and/or *insincere* votes ???
Add the reverse order math.
32 CBA
33 ACB
34 BAC
99 more
Who (if anybody), then has 100 *sincere* and/or *insincere* votes ???
Will the earth crash into the sun if there are, horror of horrors, some
*insincere* votes (for the lesser of the perceived evils) --- resulting in
a majority winner ???
Has the voting range of 100 percent (FOR) to minus 100 percent (AGAINST)
disappeared ???
Have Mr. Arrow's observations about having 3 or more choice been overthrown
???
