There's no point > worrying about pairwise ties at all, afaics. Hmm.. but this allows a Schwartz set with no propositions. This would mean that, for example, the rule for detecting ties would have to be rewritten. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but it's worth an explicit mention in a context where we're contrasting draft versions. > Give me tautological definitions any day.
