If true, that is unfortunate. Perhaps we would have to pick a better
criterion that is also easy to understand, something like the (weak)
Favorite Betrayal Criterion. But if we have to do that, then a lot of
otherwise good methods go out the window.
On the other hand, both Nanson and Bucklin has been used in the US, and
neither of these pass LNHarm.
