The term "de-cloning of MinMax" doesn't clarify it for me; I honestly don't
understand what that would look like. Schulze might be intuitive if you are
a computer scientist; I know that its algorithm is something similar to
something that computer scientists learn. I am not a computer scientist;
I'm a physicist. I find Schulze simply bewildering. I couldn't tell you
right now how it works without thinking really hard about it, and I'm not
confident I would get it right. I tried to explain it once to my wife (who
is a microsystems engineer) and she looked like a deer on headlights. And
that's someone who is used to me explaining voting methods.

What is the CDTT?
