Line 9: Thus, in essence, CWP can be thought of as a defeat strength definition. If A pairwise defeats B, CWP finds the strength of the defeat as follows: '''For each voter who ranks A over B, and only for these voters, subtract ~~B’s~~B's rating from ~~A’s~~A's rating, to get the rating differential. Sum these rating differentials to get the defeat strength.''' The name "cardinal pairwise" also implies that a Smith-efficient, defeat-dropping base method will be used, for example [[Schulze method\|Schulze]], [[ranked pairs]], or [[river]].
