One uses a votes-only definition of FBC, as I always do when proving that
a method satisfies FBC.

This should not be considered consistent with the rankings. If your
definition allows that, then your definition isn't adequate.

This should be extremely similar to your concept of what a "sincere"
vote can be when considering a set of sincere preferences with respect
to the valid cast ballot.
