Does the Schwartz set violate anything that the Smith doesn't violate?

Hello, John.

I would say that it's not especially important.  Smith is important, because a method that fails Smith will also fail Local Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives.  However, as Markus Schulze once pointed out to me, requiring that the winner come from the Schwartz set won't offer a more robust sort of independence.
