Re: 'Concorde' Voting Method and Circular Ties

I just noticed that I made (at least) one error in my description of
pairwise methods.  I wrote:

Of course, this is incorrect -- when there are n options, a total of
n*(n-1)/2 pairwise elections are required.  Not much point in having
candidates run against themselves, or holding each election twice!

Sorry about that.
