So, what I want to do is look at a bunch of comparisons, and see how many ways I can show that A > C, C > D, D > E, and so on. And, in the opposite direction, E > B, B > A, or whatever.
And I kind of have the intuition that the more "proofs" in one direction than the other, the better. And the longer the proof, the better -- errors should introduce noise, instead of linking up and reinforcing each other.
