Score Chain Climbing generally disappoints both burial and Burr dilemma
defectors.

That's why it is becoming my favorite method.

SCC

While more than one candidate remains eliminate the highest score candidate
that does not pairwise defeat the lowest score remaining candidate.

The Burr defector, like the burial culprit is typically a fairly strong
candidate that sees a chance to bury or truncate an opponent that he does
not defeat pairwise, but might well come out ahead of if the opponent's
score is lowered.

SCC is practically tailor made to disappoint this kind of manipulation ...
the lowered score candidate still defeats her detractor pairwise, and her
lowered score makes her the pairwise eliminator at some early stage ... the
lower her score, the earlier her chance for revenge!
