Yeah I thought loop-free would be a better selection of words than best.
My thinking is why would you set a bridge priority if it was done best and
dynamically.
I think either Doyle or Caslow or both ( can't remember ) illustrates
nicely why you would want to get involved in determining root bridge for
optimum path selection.
Maybe the author from cert zone could give us his thinking, he may be here.
