[EM] "Beatpath GMC" compliance a mistaken standard?

[Paul Kislanko]

This still makes no sense to me, since C has no more a majority in case 2
than it had in case 1.

If mutual majority selects (A B) in case 1 and (A B C) in case 2, it makes
no sense at all and should never be mentioned again.

I wrote: "Mutual majority says nothing in the scenario
above."

There is no contradiction between Kevin Venzke and me.

When the set of candidates is {A,B,C}, then saying that
the winner is chosen from {A,B,C} (Kevin Venzke) is the
same as saying that mutual majority says nothing (Markus
Schulze).
