Why did you replace MJ with MCA? I understand that MCA's Bucklin-like logic
is somewhat easier to explain to those who don't know what a median is; and
certainly the methods are similar enough; but I deliberately chose to speak
of MJ as the representative Bucklin method, because it has the clearest
definition and the strongest support in the academic and popular literature.
I still think MJ is the right choice for this statement, though I could be
convinced otherwise if some serious MCA supporters came out of the woodwork.
