The earlier version had the problem of not applying to Approval, but I
think that my current, latest, CD version acts as intended.

The fact that it doesn't apply to Plurality isn't a problem: CD is intended
to measure for A voters being able to help B without being taken advantage
of. But Pluality won't even let them help B without voting B over A,
thereby victimizing _themselves_.

So, any suggestion that Plurality is ok because it doesn't fail (or pass)
CD, would sound like saying that a homeless person is better off, because
they don't have to bother to buy a door-lock.
