Echoing your words, given knowledge of a set of Plurality votes, Condorcet 
voters could indicate THE SAME desires and achieve THE SAME winner as 
happened with the Plurality votes.

All of which does not prevent Condorcet voters, when permitted to use the 
full capabilities of the method, from having ADDITIONAL power over either 
Plurality or Approval.
