[EM] DH3 pathology

I note one as being present in your various examples.

no.  My main DH3 example had no cycle.  However, some of the voters
wished to try to create a scenario without a Condorcet winner (i.e.
with cycle) by means of strategic voting.  But if all the voters acted that way
rather than just some, we got a non-cyclic situation again with
the worst candidate as Condorcet winner.   

So, while some thinking about cycles was involved inside voter heads
I suppose you could say  (although in fact I think they'd vote that
way even if they'd never heard of a Condorcet cycle - often)
there were no cycles before stratgeic voting, and none after it either.

The examples I am talking about are at
