Hi Chris,
Just so I understand this correctly:
You're saying that the pairwise contest A:3 > B:1 should be weighted
more strongly than C:3,000,001 > D:2,999,999? Even though only 4
people care to vote in the A vs. B contest?

Ted,
Yes.
I'm not interested in "moral arguments" about this or that part of an
algorithm. If you don't like it, give an example with a result you don't
like.
