But Bus can’t be defeated. …& so wins unless someone else is un-majority-beaten due to lots of truncation. I guess Bus could eliminate CW before BF meets CW. …& CW was BF’s only defeater. But BF *might* be eliminated, & Bus can’t be eliminated (because hir only top-cycle defeat isn’t helped by the defensively-truncating CW-voters. …& Bus, as a top-cycle member, has no defeats from outside the top-cycle). So, probabilistic-deterrence.
