[EM] Plurality criterion (Oops! X/Y mix-up)

[Chris Benham]

Mike, Kevin, participants,
In my most recent post (Tue.Jun.7)  referring to the Plurality 
criterion, I  mistakenly wrote:

> The "pairwise version" says that  X must not win if  there are more 
> voters that rank X above all the other candidates than there are 
> voters that rank Y over *any*  candidate. 

That of course should have been:
The "pairwise version" says that  X must not win if  there are more 
voters that rank Y above all the other candidates than there are voters 
that rank X over *any*  candidate.

Kevin,
I'm a bit confused by your response.

>the "pairwise"
>version can't refer to first preferences or "any" preferences. It just says
>that if the greatest number of votes against X in some contest exceeds the
>greatest number for X in some contest, then X mustn't win.

Shouldn't  the second of  your three "X"s  be  a  Y?  Otherwise, in the  
49A, 24B, 27C>B  example both A and C would be barred by it.
