The experiment was for the specific performance of [: u v vs u @: v for the
given u, v, X and Y.  However, there are other instances as well,  for
example, the reference [2].  I do not recall seen any instance of such
discrepancy in performance the other way around; that is when [: u v
clearly dominates u @: v but I would be grateful if you or anyone else
points me in that direction.
