Another positive argument for Condorcet-consistency 
uses the single-elimination pairwise voting procedure 
recommended by Robert's Rules, instead of plurality rule.  
I presume the Robert's Rules procedure is used much more 
than any other voting procedure, which, if true, lends 
strength to the argument.  

Most of the people reading this, I assume, are aware that 
under the Robert's Rules procedure, the Condorcet winner 
(when there is one) will be chosen, assuming either 
that every voter votes sincerely or that every voter is 
strategically sophisticated and knows the preferences 
of all the voters.
