Sorry, I think that this is not quite equivalent, as a candidate can be
the plurality loser before non-Smith candidates are eliminated, but can
receive lots of transfers from these eliminations, thus winning the
alternative Smith method.

So, the most succinct statement of the method proper I'm aware of is 
"alternately eliminate (1) all candidates outside the Smith set and (2)
the plurality loser, until one candidate remains."

It doesn't quite roll off the tongue, but it may have good strategy
resistance. Any opinions on how its strategy resistance would compare to
AWP, CWP, DMC/RAV, etc.?

my best,
