Hmm... The problem is that "methods electing from the [[CDTT|CDTT set]]" is not specific enough. I'm responsible for that wording, of course. If you add, and count, ballots ranking all candidates equal, then this can delete CDTT wins (i.e. majority-strength wins). So the result can change in a method which explicitly finds the CDTT set. Any ideas on how to reword this? [[User:KVenzke|Kevin Venzke]] 16:22, 15 Jun 2005 (PDT)
Well, I consider election methods to be "black boxes". That means: To determine whether a given election method satisfies a given criterion, you don't need to know the used algorithm, you only need to know which candidate wins in each profile. Therefore, whether a given method satisfies a given criterion must not depend on how you describe this method. [[User:MarkusSchulze|MarkusSchulze]] 10:09, 16 Jun 2005 (PDT)
