I forgot you specifically asked about Smith//Plurality. I'm not familiar
with the '//' notation but I'm going to guess that the rule is "find the
Smith set and then find the plurality winner within that". If so, then that
method is like Minimax in that it is less skewed toward the simplest
strategies:

Smith//Plurality
- 59% susceptible
- 89% of successful strategies are the trivial one
- 79% of the non-trivial strategies are the "reverse" strategy and 21% are
the JGA-style search.

Minimax
- 41% susceptible
- 90% of successful strategies are the trivial one
- 77% of the non-trivial strategies are the "reverse" strategy and 23% are
the JGA-style search.

Hare
- 6.9% susceptible
- 100% of successful strategies are the trivial one

Benham
- 4.8% susceptible
- 98% of successful strategies are the trivial one
- 90% of the non-trivial strategies are the "reverse" strategy and 23% are
the JGA-style search.

And I should have realized that for "Plurality" it is trivially true that
100% of successful strategies are trivial since only the first choice on
the ballot matters.
