Ah-ha. That's clicked now. Especially as I read the comments and see it already says exactly this.
And I understand that you just compute extra eigenvectors then throw out near-duplicates, or those that are too un-eigenvector -- are there good pointers on the alternatives for that, or are alternatives impractical? I understand it's possible to re-figure the vectors it produces at each iteration to be orthogonal, but don't know whether that's considered unhelpful.
