I believe the incidences of agreement among Smith//MinMax, plain MinMax,
beatpath and Ranked Pairs are all well over 90% for 15 candidates or fewer.
 Norm Petry was randomly generating pairwise matrices, not voter
preferences, driving the incidence of Condorcet candidates down and
disagreement among Condorcet methods up.

Smith//MinMax is another ranked-ballot method not in my simulations.  Whose
idea was Smith//MinMax originally?  Does anyone still promote it?
