Seems this chart is another proof of that fairest is useless? It still doesn't tell us anything about the most concerned: China vs US, who did better?

The algorithm is based on only 2 rules:

    * We must consider more medals to be better than fewer, other things being equal. If country A has at least as many gold, at least as many silver and at least as many bronze as country B, then we must surely consider it to have done at least as well.
    * We must consider the higher medals to be better than the lower. If country C has one more silver than country D but one fewer bronze, we must surely consider it to have done unambiguously better by any sensible ranking, because it has the score country D would have had if one of their bronze medallists had done a little better and won silver instead.
