(endquote )

The MAM winner has no defeats that aren't  nullified by being the weakest
defeat in a cycle whose other defeats are affirmed.

...and those affirmed stronger defeats are affirmed because that _can't_ be
said of them.

Additionally, I remind you that our topic is MAM vs Schulze. Therefore the
pairwise comparison most relevant here is the pairwise comparison between
MAM & Schulze.    ...a comparison which MAM wins several times more often
than Schulze does.
