If the max score is 5, then A 100% supports himself and 80% supports B. Thus, if Candidate A only gives himself 1/5th (100%-80%=20%) of his own votes to help himself beat B, ori.e. splitgives himself 3/5ths of his votes soand thatB 52/9ths5ths, gosuch tothat himthere's anda 41/9ths5th to Bdifference (in proportion to the difference in strength of preference), then B wins. This example is moresomewhat farcical, but in general, [[utilitarianism]] can be viewed through an Asset lens as negotiators only weakly pushing for some preferences. Asset may even be modelable as one of the cardinal PR methods when all negotiators' preferences are cardinal and not ranked.
