A defense?
While an array of sports results can be looked at as Condorcet matrices

It was constructed in a different manner.
Therefore there will not necessarily be a collection of ballots that
could create an identical matrix.
Therefore it is questionable whether such an array should be called
a Condorcet matrix.

Do to no one what you would not want done to you.
