Juho-- A follow-up addendum to my answer to your question:
Of course a method's count-rule should always be available to anyone who wants it. When recommending Symmetrical ICT for informational polling, or even when introducing a poll (if time &/or print-space permits it) I'd certainly tell what the count rule is, or at least emphasize Symmetrical ICT interprets rankings more in keeping with the voter's preference and intent, as compared with unimproved Condorcet. Of course anyone who asks in what way that's so should receive a good complete answer. When I told about the ICT count in the Democracy Chronicles poll, I emphasized that the information is optional. The main thing that the voter needs to know are the strategic considerations. I gave those when I introduced the poll. Additionally, I told the count rule, for anyone who might be interested.
