Dear List, On Tue 19 Now 1996 the following appeared in one of Steve's many messages. Donald:>> Is not head to head pairing the same as Condorcet? I am confused. Steve: > You'll find that Condorcet's method is a pairwise method. Donald: Yes - I know Steve - I was being coy - I see now that coy will not do. Donald: A picture was developing - a picture that carried a message. That message was that Condorcet means were being used to prove a claim of the Condorcet people. I was holding back - waiting to see if any of you Condorcet persons would see the conflict of interest in using Condorcet to prove Condorcet's validity - it was not to be - the message went over everyone's head. You Condorcet followers are either unaware or unashamed of this obvious conflict. Donald: I find this amazing.
