[EM] A delusion (reply to Ossipoff) about Condorcet methods

[Warren Smith]

Ossipoff has raised again the idea that in range voting, you
can fully support A versus B, or fully support B versus C,
BUT NOT BOTH.


Menawhile with Condorcet voting you CAN do both.  Therefore,
Condorcet voting is inherently superior to range voting.


It's an interesting argument.  But is it valid?
The following web page counterargues that in fact, it is not valid.
   http://www.rangevoting.org/OssiDelusion.html

The truth is more interesting, or anyhow more subtle.
[both this page, and the Ossipoff statement it was based on, are years old; this is
deja vu all over again.]
