::::: I think Kristomun is talking about something like a 3-candidate Condorcet cycle, where no matter who Score elects, if one candidate drops out, then if voters normalize between the two remaining candidates, then you get majority rule.

:::::: Pretty much. By "relative scale" I mean in the sense of Balinski and Laraki: an absolute scale is where the grades (or ratings) mean the same thing for everybody, a relative one is where what ratings you provide depend on what candidates are running. I don't know of a published proof, but it seems obvious, just follow [[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy]]'s suggestion: you set up an election where there's a Condorcet cycle and no matter who wins, if another candidate drops out then winner loses the resulting majority election.
