[EM] SSFC is attainable only if an existing candidate needn't win.

If offensive order-reversal is used, there's no way that any method can 
identify the CW, or know whilch ballots are sincere and which aren't. Though 
the majorilty referred to in SSFC's definition votes someone over the 
reversers' candidate, the reversal creates a majority who vote someone over 
the CW. No method can, with perfect reliability, identify the CW, or 
distinguish hir from the reversers' candidate.

So SSFC is unattainable if it's necessary that one of the existing 
candidates win.

I'd hoped that multi-level nested combinations of NES, &/or SA, &/or DSV 
could accomplish that, but maybe such combinations could have other strategy 
advantages. If I say "NES,SA,DSV combinations", I'm referring to the ones 
that I've mentioned in this paragraph.
