Reason I choke on this thread is that this idea inflicts strategy on 
Condorcet I have to warn my voters that ranking even a minor candidate in 
front of me can get me discarded.

I assume that in (1) "those outside (the Shwartz set) have no more effect on the election"
means that in (2) "drop the candidate with the least number of first-choice votes" refers
to "first-choices" AMONG the (current) Shwartz set.

Am I right? If so, then Dave's concern doesn't apply because "a minor candidate" wouldn't 
make it into the Shwartz set.
