Chris—

As you suggested, I tested wv Condorcet with greater faction-size disparity.

Instead of placing the faction-sizes as closely as possible, this time I
spaced them from eachother by a factor of 3/2.

That’s about as much disparity as possible without giving someone a
majority.

The relative faction-sizes were 4, 6, & 9.

Of course that could mean 40, 60, & 90…etc.

The result was the same: Burial’ backfire was 10 times more likely than its
success.

Nothing like that has been said for any other Condorcet-complying method.
