Line 28:
 
==== Notes on method ====
* Before each swap, the higher alternative YX will have greater approval than that of lower alternative XY, so the difference D in question will always be positive.
* Why use the smallest absolute approval difference to decide which pairwise defeat to accept next?
** Because if the approval difference is small, then the pairwise over-ride of the approval order does the least violence to that order. '''This reconciles the approval order with the pairwise defeats while keeping the strongest approval information intact.'''
