how can that be?  since a path is a *defeat* path.  you only traverse a 
beatpath from a candidate who beats the next candidate in the path.

is it that candidates C and D are exactly tied?  other than that, i 
cannot understand how the weakest link from A to B can be the same as 
*any* link from B to A.
