I never said I didn't. I just said I couldn't get that there was from your
definition:
"With IIA, the spoiler is a candidate that is either added or removed
from the ballots.
With ICC, the spoiler is among the ballots already."
Now, what I have come to discover because of the complete inability to stay
on topic is that the term "spoiler" is an undefined term that can be either
a synonym for an "irrelevant alternative" or a synonym for "clone" but
cannot be used as a synonym for both.
So to make things clear, the term "spoiler" should be avoided altogether or
modifed in use to be "IA-spoiler" or "Clone".
