[EM] Weak Condorcet winners

[Bob Richard]

None of Warren Smith's examples (as far as I know) are examples of "weak 
Condorcet winners". They are examples of fairly strong Condorcet 
winners. If Smith's examples are relevant, then all Condorcet winners 
who would not get elected using some non-Condorcet compliant method are 
"weak".
