[EM] Conditionality-by-top-count probably violates FBC

[Kevin Venzke]

Does anyone understand why the DH3 concept exists? Why envision three major blocs, instead of two major blocs plus the small bloc belonging
to the pawn candidate? That doesn't require four candidates and more closely resembles how burial problems are usually considered...

I think you can have burial in methods that pass LNHelp too, unless the method also passes LNHarm. LNHelp-complying methods could still reward a move from, say, A>B>C to A>C>B (where the point would be to keep B from winning more than to get A to win).

See, for instance, Kevin Venzke's post: http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2011-February/027098.html , or James Green-Armytage's: http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2011-February/027091.html
