The FBC is about not having to lower your one favorite candidate; it is not about not having to pick a single favorite from your favorite set. As a voter, I'd regard the former as a serious dilemma, and the latter as a trivial detail.

Can anyone explain this to me? I haven't understood it yet.

Obviously the reason I test whether lowering any "favorite" causes a desired result is the fact that any one of those candidates
actually might be the sincere favorite.

I will read the other messages again but I am not sure how you will make a better votes-only definition without doing something
similar to this. The FBC of course theoretically is passed by a lot of methods that would not pass the votes-only version. But
I don't believe it's likely that, in those cases, the methods are really providing a valuable guarantee.
