[EM] Strrategy definitions clarification

[MIKE OSSIPOFF]

I want to clarify that I'm aware that I've defined these strategies in terms 
of both sincere preferenes and voted preferences. In terms of the CW, which 
is defined in terms of sincere preferences; and majority rule, which I 
define in terms of actual votes.

That's intentional. There could be a case for tallking instead about 
majority preference, but majority votes are usually what people are tallking 
about when they say "majority rule". Besides, the methods that fail badly 
don't have any trouble violating majority rule by the stronger definition 
that I use.

By the way, it may seem odd to define majority rule in terms of cycles, even 
for non-pairwise-count methods. But really, what could nullify a majority 
defeat except a cycle of them?
