This is getting frustrating.

Hello? Anybody home?

Seriously, I wasn't questioning what Forest is 
saying. I'm questioning the specific application 
of ICC to an FB election. ICC involves comparing 
the results of two elections. *Which two 
elections?* If I'm correct, Forest is following 
the same line as Warren did previously. Forest's 
proof is *much* more complex and I'm not sure I 
followed it all and I don't have time to do so. I 
just looked to see if he was doing the same thing 
with regard to ICC, and it seems he is.

However, if Warren was correct in his proof, I'd 
guess that Forest also is, at least with regard 
to this aspect. So, please, someone, look at my 
objection, especially to *Warren's* proof. Nobody 
has responded to it yet. The objection is that 
there is a clear logical fallacy in Warren's proof.
