This is like saying "There may be good reasons why Random Ballot should be
rejected as a viable election method, but Arrow's premises don't elucidate
those reasons because if the theorem were generalized to encompass dictatorship
methods, its conclusion would be that non-dictatorial methods cannot satisfy
the axioms whereas Random Ballot can."
I hope it's evident why this is a strange way of speaking.
