I think that this rule can be re-stated more succinctly as follows:
Repeatedly eliminate the plurality loser until only one candidate is in
the Smith set.

If this is right, it invites a comparison with DMC/RAV, which repeatedly
eliminates the approval loser until only one candidate is in the Smith set.

Am I correct?
