That's right, because the Copeland set is a subset of the Smith set
(actually, even a subset of the uncovered set), so choosing a candidate
from that set must be Smith-efficient.
However, every Copeland method of this form fails clone independence
because the Copeland set as a whole fails it. (It might also be the
case, though implausible, that there are multiple candidates with the
same number of first preferences, or even with zero).
