I agree. For those who don't know, the Plurality criterion says that if  X is ranked
strictly above all other candidates on more ballots than Y is ranked above any candidates,
then Y must not win.

I like a more general standard that says that if  X both pairwise beats Y and positionally
dominates Y, then Y mustn't win.
