Remember that K-Y is Condorcet compliant, and I believe consistent as well
(that is, you can generalize from Condorcet to Smith and even ignore the
effects of the candidates outside the Smith set). So the set of cases where
the problem is easy is at least somewhat well-defined in that sense, and

So, wrapping up this explanation:
If the Condorcet-Kemeny problem were in the field of encryption, then of
course only an exact solution would be relevant.
But the Condorcet-Kemeny problem is an optimization problem -- or it can
be regarded as a sor
