That's true. However, it may be that Manoj is concerned that once the transitive defeat is gone the reason for dropping the defeat is gone. If that's the case, perhaps it's worth adding a phrase such as "Once a defeat is dropped, it remains dropped, even if a transitive defeat which had caused it to be dropped is later eliminated." Manoj: is this what's bothering you? Thanks, -- Raul
