Of course you are absolutely correct, but I think Norman was perfectly
clear in his subject line "Condorcet analysis of Official PEP308
Ballots".  He had the code written already from his complementary
vote, and then performed the analysis on the raw official votes, after
doing a straightforward translation of the official votes into a
"Condorcet-like" ranking.

So the methods of Condorcet voting were simply used as an analysis
technique, and I think he tried to make that clear.
