100 voters.
98 rank CW over B.
2 rank B over CW.

49 of the CW>B voters rank CW 1st & B 2nd

49 of the CW>B voters rank CW & B

much lower, & give votes, at a much later round, to CW, & then B.

The two B>CW voters rank B in 1st place, & CW in 3rd place.

Oops!!

Maybe Bucklin isn’t as Condorcet-like as I believed.
