For city block distance and Euclidean distance
Say the origin of the co-ordinate system is the voter-median point.
Yesterday, though I said everything that was needed, I didn't say it as
neatly as I could. I'm in a hurry again this time, but I'll try to be a
little clearer about why the voter-med
I said:
It's a simple matter of BeatpathWinner choosing {A,lD} as its winner-set.
BeatpathWinner's winner-set is {A,B}, and SSD's winnner-set is {D}.
I meant, instead:
It's a simple matter of BeatpathWinner choosing {A,D} as its winner set.
BeatpathWinner's winner-set is {A,D}, and SSD's winner-set
I'd said:
In an example such as that, BeatpathWinner and SSD
give different results. There isn't come version
of BeatpathWinner that is SSD.
But in your example you argue that BeatpathWinner
is indifferent between A and D while SSD chooses D.
Therefore, your example doesn't demonstrate that
"SSD is

express both strong and weak preferences. The
direction of pairwise defeats are determined by both
strong and weak preferences, and the strength of
pairwise defeats are determined only by strong
