[EM] Voting-System Choice for Polls (Just one more thing I want to say)

[Markus Schulze]

Hallo,

Mike Ossipoff is still not giving a definition
for the terms "necessarily" / "unnecessarily".

What he is doing is: He is giving an explanation
why, in his opinion, those instances where
Tideman's ranked pairs method violates his
desideratum are justifiable. He does this by
repeating the underlying heuristic of the
ranked pairs method.

However, to be able to check whether an election
method satisfies a criterion it should be
sufficient to know the definition for this method.
It should not be necessary to know and to agree
to the underlying heuristic of this method.
