"Style" should be used to refer to more subjective aspects of writing. Perhaps I should have described formal mathematical writing as following a particular "structure."<br><br>All I can say in defense of how I wrote the manuscript is that I am inexperienced at formal mathematical writing (physicists are to rigor what jello is to structural integrity) so I took my cues from how Saari wrote in "Basic Geometry of Voting."<br><br>The weaknesses of that approach are, as you point out, substantial. However, Saari wrote for a wider audience than just formally-trained mathematicians, including social scientists (some of whom are indeed schooled in formal mathematical approaches, but not all) in his audience. There is some merit in that, and I need to think things through as I consider restructuring the
paper. I appreciate your feedback on this.<br><br>Anyway, revising to a more formal structure will take some time. In the near term, I'll try to include a table earlier in the paper to at least give the reader a more organized summary and preview of what is to come.<br><br>Thanks for the feedback.<br><br><br><br>Alex<br></td></tr></table><br>
