I have shown several examples where (CC)SCRRIRVE performs BETTER than wv at
resisting Burying,
and I have not been able to find ANY in which it performs worse. If one
could be found, you'd
think that a veteran prolific-poster wv advocate would be kind enough to
post it.
I reply:
As I said, all an example can prove is that a method fails a criterion. If
you want to show that SCRRIRVE passes a criterion, you need to demonstrate
it. Showing an example in which SCRRIRVE doeesn't fail a criterion doesn't
prove anything.
Chris, you've found several examples in which SCRRIRVE resists offensive
order-reversal better than wv does. But with wv, defensive truncation or
defensive equal-ranking can reliably make it impossible for offensive
order-reversal to succeed. Is that true of SCRRIRVE? It's for you to show.
In wv, truncation can't steal an election from a CW under conditions that
I've described. Is that true of SCRRIRVE?
That's why I say that SCRRiRVE's properties haven't been determined. A few
examples won't do.
