Dear Mike,

Tideman cannot choose decisively a candidate who is not
in the Schwartz set. Whether Tideman can choose randomly
a candidate who is not in the Schwartz set depends on
how you handle situations with defeats of equal strength.
Actually, when all Schwartz winners are ranked ahead of
all other candidates in the TBRC, then Tideman never
chooses decisively or randomly a candidate who is not
in the Schwartz set.
