If I'm understanding this correctly, what I should do in the analysis sheets I am developing is to assure that, if we have Set 1 = {A, B} Set 2 = {A, C} Then we also have Set 3 = {B, C} Correct?

Let’s assume two scenarios for the hypothetical analysis: Scenario 1: Set 1 = {A, B} Set 2 = {A, C} For Set 1, it was concluded A is a variant of B. In Set 2, it was concluded A is not a variant of C. Then, the only resulting variant set is Aà B (symmetry implied) Scenario 2: Set 1 = {A, B} Set 3 = {A, B, C} For Set 1, A is deemed variant of B In Set 3, A is deemed variant of B, B deemed a variant of C, but A not a variant of C. The resulting variant sets are Aà B, Bà C; and due to transitivity AàC is also a variant pair. My point was that by excluding a code point from the analysis can result in different result as to the variant sets identified. Hope this helps clarify.
