The core of the system is VoteFair popularity ranking, which is mathematically equivalent to the Condorcet-Kemeny method, which is one of the methods supported by the "Declaration of Election-Method Reform Advocates."
You said there are ballot sets for which the Kemeny method and VoteFair provides different winners. How, then, can VoteFair be /mathematically/ equivalent? You say the differences don't matter in practice, but for the method to be mathematically equivalent, wouldn't the mapping have to be completely identical?
