The pictures are my very own, minimal computation, not-to-be-
taken-seriously-but-present-some-pretty-pictures-that-in-most-cases-
do-not-depart-too-far-from-the-truth.
In no way are these pretty graphics to be taken as a basis of
actually making decisions; they present instead a rough graphical view
of the pair wise defeats in a method only suited to finding a single
winner.
I am working on getting a working code for devotee for multiple
winners; which will degenerate into the current method for the special
case where the number of winners = 1; please don't hurry me, I tend to
commit typos and other errors when so hurried.
Of course, patches to devotee are always welcome.
