Sez anybody.  You get this behavior by using Margins or half-votes (which are
the same thing).  You can't by using WV.

Here's an example.

Election 1
1 A>B
1 A>B
1 B>A

Election 2
1 A>B
1 A=B
1 A=B

With Margins, A beats B in both elections with strength 1.  With half-votes, it is
strength 2.

With WV, in election 1 A beats B with strength 2, while in election 2, A beats B with
strength 1.

So Margins treated A>B and B>A the same as two A=B, while WV did not.
