Markus replied:

When Mike cannot see that under "Random Candidate" the
probability that a given candidate X is elected can only
decrease when additional candidates are nominated, then
I cannot help him.

I reply:

Take a look at my paragraph that you quoted above. It was
right in front of your face. I'd said I wasn't agreeing with you
_because I hadn't rechecked & printed-out your definition._

Whether the probability that a given candidate X is elected can
only decrease when additional candidates are nominated doesn't
mean anything with respect to compliance with your definition unless
that's what your definition is about. Since, as I said, I hadn't
printed your definition out, and didn't have it available at that
time, I couldn't say whether or not RC complies with your criterion.

It might seem pointless to say that I don't necessarily agree, because
I don't have your definition handy, but I said it to avoid any
unintened implication that I was agreeing with something that I
don't know the accuracy of.

Next time, read what you're replying to before you reply.
