Source: Dan S. Felsenthal (2010), Appendix A10, Example 29 — see bv2167_f3dxq9_star.yaml for the setup. The same 11 voters under Choose-One: first choices D 5, C 3, A 2, B 1 → D — the candidate who loses every head-to-head 5–6 and whom a majority (6 of 11) rank dead last. Choose-One and Minimax (worked on the case page) agree on the absolute loser, for opposite reasons: Choose-One sees only D's five committed fans; Minimax sees only that D's defeats are narrow.
