Date: Sun, Apr 20, 2014 at 7:48 PM<br>Subject: Is Chain Climbing really monotonic??<br>To: Michael Ossipoff <<a href="mailto:email9648742@gmail.com">email9648742@gmail.com</a>><br><br><br>Begin with:<br>
7: A B C<br>
6: B C A<br>
5: C A B<br>
First add C to S since C is bottom-ranked by the most (7).<br>
Then add B to S since only B is unbeaten pairwise by a candidate in S.<br>
Then elect B.<br>
<br>
Suppose two voters raise B from the bottom:<br>
7: A B C<br>
6: B C A<br>
3: C A B<br>
2: C B A<br>
First add A to S since A is bottom-ranked by the most (8).<br>
Now B can never be added to S since B is beaten pairwise by a candidate in S.<br>
So now B can't win.<br>
<br>
Have I made a mistake?<br>
