Seems pretty straightforward to me ...
if (survivors == NULL) {
if exists(modem) {
survivors = "modem"
} elseif exists(undisciplined_local_clock) {
survivors = "undisciplined_local_clock"
} elseif exists(orphan_parent) {
survivors = "orphan_parent"
}
}
abort if (count(survivors) < minsane)

You can break almost anything if you grossly misconfigure it.
