Yes, but we are discussing whether or not two truechimers will always outvote one falseticker. In the case below, will server 3 be treated as a falseticker because its offset lies outside the dispersion interval of the other two servers even though there is some intersection between its dispersion and that of server 2. 1 |--------+--------| 2 |----------+----------| 3 |------------+------------|

Brian Utterback I would hugely appreciate your comment on this. I want to see if I have correctly understood the point you were making.
