Majority Judgment
Considering, that a unrated candidate is assumed to receiving the worst possible rating, this example shows that Majority Judgment violates the later-no-harm criterion. Assume two candidates A and B with 3 potential voters and the following ratings:
| Candidates/ # of voters |
A | B |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Excellent | Good |
| 1 | Poor | Excellent |
| 1 | Fair | Poor |

Famous quotes containing the words majority and/or judgment:
“I’m plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Nothing is beautiful, except man alone: all aesthetics rests upon this naïveté, which is its first truth. Let us immediately add the second: nothing is ugly except the degenerating man—and with this the realm of aesthetic judgment is circumscribed.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
