[EM] Quick and Clean Burial Resistant Smith, compromise

[Colin Champion]

This seems very interesting. If I understand it correctly, Daniel is 
saying that when a voting method can be subverted by tactical voting in 
such a way that candidate c is elected in place of the rightful winner 
w, the subversion can nearly always be accomplished if all voters who 
prefer c to w simultaneously compromise on c and bury w.
    I'm surprised that "false cycles" don't come into it. Should I 
conclude that artificially placing a candidate second hardly ever 
achieves anything not achieved by compromising and burial?
